Psychedelic indie singer-songwriter Steve Gunn has announced his fourth solo album, The Unseen In Between. The follow-up to his 2016 Matador debut, Eyes on the Lines, is due out January 18th.
Produced by frequent collaborator James Elkington and engineered by Daniel Schlett, The Unseen In Between features contributions from Tony Garnier, musical director for Bob Dylan, throughout. The effort had its emotional genesis just two weeks after Eyes on the Lines was released, when Gunn’s father lost his battle to cancer. Tracks on the album pay tribute to Gunn’s dad (“Stonehurst Cowboy”), examine the relationship between bodega owner and bodega cat (“Luciano”), and question what art means when it doesn’t work (“Lightning Field”).
As a first taste, Gunn has shared the lyric video for the record’s lead single, “New Moon”. Take a listen below.
Pre-orders for The Unseen In Between are now live. Find the artwork and tracklist below.
