Steve Gunn has shared new track "Fulton" as the third preview of his upcoming album Other You.

After releasing "Other You" and "Reflection" as the lead tracks from the album last month, Gunn has unveiled "Fulton" as the latest preview of the record.

Gunn says of the song, "One night the air went dead on 1010 WINS, the local AM news station in NYC I find myself listening to from time to time. Everything stopped for a moment, or at least the radio signal did. The long silence came as a surprise, a gift."

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."

"Fulton" is out now. Steve Gunn's Other You album will be released via Matador on 27 August, and is available to pre-order now.
