| After a banner year in 2016, with the release of Eyes on the Lines, his new album and debut for Matador, Steve Gunn is preparing to hit the road this summer for a slew of North American tour dates. For those not lucky enough to see Gunn and Lee Ranaldo’s intimate co-headline tour earlier this year, the pair will play dates this June throughout the south and along the east coast. After a quick run of shows in Australia, Gunn and his full band, The Outliners, will return for select dates up the west coast, wrapping up with a performance at Pickathon in early August. All tickets are on-sale this Friday.
Eyes on the Lines sees Gunn’s songwriting at its most vibrant and evocative, fully embracing a sense of uncertainty and adventure that comes with getting lost out on the road; “propulsive, rolling, repetitive in deliberate ways, and insomuch as it conjures a single image it’s of smooth and endless blacktop, receding in a rearview mirror.” (The New Yorker). The album has been met with acclaim from the likes of NPR Music, Pitchfork, Vulture, Noisey, WIRED, Brooklyn Magazine, INTERVIEW, The Guardian, Paste, and beyond.
