Steve Gunn has announced a new album, Daylight Daylight, which is set for release on November 7. It’s billed as the Brooklyn-based musician’s first studio album in four years, following Other You, though earlier this year he released Music for Writers, his first solo instrumental LP and a pretty helpful tool in my own practice. (I was just listening to it!) Daylight Daylight opens with the ethereal, languorous ‘Nearly There’, which is out today. Check it out below.
Instead of bringing together a band to flesh out the new songs, as he’s done on previous records, Gunn enlisted a single main collaborator: producer James Elkington, also primarily known as a guitarist. Gunn would track demos and send them to Elkington, who freely developed the arrangements. Additional contributors on the record include Macie Stewart (violins and viola), Ben Whiteley (cellos), Nick Macri (upright bass), and Hunter Diamond (woodwinds).
