Steve Gunn has announced his sixth album Other You, alongside sharing two lead singles including the title-track and "Reflection".

"Other You" and "Reflection" are the first tasters of Gunn's forthcoming album, and also mark his first releases of 2021, following last year's cover of "Clay Pigeons" with Shannon Lay.

Gunn's sixth album Other You was recorded at Mant Studios with producer Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith, Cass McCombs, Kurt Vile) and longtime friend and collaborator Justin Tripp.

The album, which will follow 2019's The Unseen In Between, will feature contributions from Juliana Barwick, Mary Lattimore, Bridget St. John, Jeff Parker, Bill MacKay, Ben Bertrand, drummer Ryan Sawyer (TV On The Radio, Thurston Moore, Gang Gang Dance), and more.

Gunn says of the album title, "I came up with this title when we were recording vocals and Rob was very into harmonies. There was a third part and I just couldn’t find the note. I couldn’t vocalise it. He went in and took my voice and put it into his computer program, then he could playback and “sing” the note with my voice using the computer. And he said, ‘Sing to the other you.’ So I was singing along to myself singing a note I couldn’t sing."

Tracklist:

  1. Other You
  2. Fulton
  3. Morning River
  4. Good Wind
  5. Circuit Rider
  6. On The Way
  7. Protection
  8. The Painter
  9. Reflection
  10. Sugar Kiss
  11. Ever Feel That Way
"Other You" and "Reflection" are out now. Steve Gunn's Other You album will be released via Matador on 27 August, and is available to pre-order now.
