1st album w/ a band, featuring John Truscinski & Justin Tripp. His most affecting, accessible, & articulate work of pure songcraft to date, w/ a new emphasis on vocals. Here, Gunn the guitarist masterfully deploys the discursive, deconstructed blues style, at once transcendent & methodical, that has become his signature. Close listening reveals the influence of Delta & Piedmont country blues, ecstatic free jazz, & psych, as well as Gnawa & Carnatic music, on the continually unfolding compositions
