Gun Outfit Out Of Range

Like a stone eroded by years in the arroyo, Gun Outfit's enveloping "Western
expanse" aesthetic of guitar levitations and honky-tonk hexes has become gradually
smoother over time. Their fifth LP ranks as their most brutally beautiful statement
yet. Drawing from mythologies both classical and postmodern, Out of Range builds a
world in which Brueghel the Elder, St. Augustine, and the ancient goddess Cybele
ride with John Ford, Samuel Beckett, and Wallace Stevens on a Orphic-Gnostic
suicide drive towards the hallucinatory vanishing points of the Southwestern desert,
debating the denouement of the decaying American dream. "Dreamers wielding slide
guitars. A tradition-warping band, with a punk aesthetic deep at the center and
double-guitar desert-rock psychedelia at the surface." - The New York Times "it has
the blue-sky sensibility of a soul-searching road trip. You want to get lost inside of it,
to turn it up on a road trip that lasts for weeks." - Pitchfork RIYL Steve Gunn, Terry
Allen, Promised Land Sound, Chance, Amps for Christ, Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth,
Waylon Jennings, Lee Hazlewood, Blaze Foley, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Kurt
Vile.
