Brooklyn singer-songwriter Steve Gunn has unveiled a lovely new single, “Fulton,” plus news of a three-night residency at Los Angeles’ Gold Diggers, happening from September 9 to 11. The lovingly melodic “Fulton,” which you can hear above, follows two previous singles from Gunn, “Other You” (which is also the name of his forthcoming album, arriving in August) and “Reflection.”
As you might remember, Gunn first got his start in Kurt Vile‘s backing band, The Violators, before moving over to a solo career. In a statement alongside the album’s June announcement, Gunn described how he arrived at the album’s title, Other You:
“I came up with this title when we were recording vocals and [producer] Rob [Schnapf] was very into harmonies. There was a third part and I just couldn’t find the note. I couldn’t vocalize 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.”
