Other You

His sixth studio album, recorded over two Los Angeles visits with a guest list including Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore.
Steve Gunn, 2021

Rob Schnapf produced at his Mant Studios, and Justin Tripp co-produced and played, over two visits in late 2020 and early 2021. Guests include Julianna Barwick, Mary Lattimore, Bridget St. John, Jeff Parker, Bill MacKay, Ben Bertrand and Ryan Sawyer. "Sugar Kiss" is the only instrumental, with Lattimore on harp. Guitar.com lists a nylon-string acoustic on the opener and an early-1960s Jazzmaster, old Echoplex and a Real McCoy Custom wah on "Protection". Matador called it his brightest and most life-affirming work to date. Guitar.com's Gary Walker gave 8 of 10 and wrote it is the best album Gunn has made since 2014's Way Out Weather, and The Line of Best Fit's Janne Oinonen also gave 8 of 10.
