Right on the heels of his gorgeous instrumental outing Music for Writers, Steve Gunn returns to his songwriting realm with Daylight, Daylight, a new album out November 7 on No Quarter. Enlisting longtime confidante James Elkington as producer and primary collaborator, Gunn sent demos of the album’s seven songs to his co-conspirator, giving him carte blanche to adorn them with string and woodwind arrangements, later brought to life by Macie Stewart (violins and viola), Ben Whiteley (cello), Nick Macri (upright bass), and Hunter Diamond (woodwinds). What results is an absolute masterwork, one of the finest additions to Gunn’s already laudable catalog.
