No Ripcord
Should be the album where he steps out from the shadow of his contemporaries and establishes him as one of the most reliable singer-songwriters of his generation. His heart is in tune with that of a wanderer but his songwriting is firmly in place, ready to come out of obscurity

Uncut
It's understated excellence at best, perhaps a little inoffensive at worse, and entirely a continuation of the aesthetic the Brooklyn-based guitarist has honed for the last two years. Print edition only

Like the man himself, ‘The Unseen in Between’ is full of complex twists, kinks and contradictions that offer more answers, well, not answers, but suggestions with each listen

Under The Radar
Gunn curates a careful balance of lavish instrumentation with spinning vocal melodies that sound as if they've been lost in a dusty pile of obscure 45s in a vinyl hoarders basement

Has the potential to be a victim of its own naturalness; it’s such a finely-hewed record that people will step into its sound and enjoy it with such ease that they might take it for granted

Perhaps because it’s so rare now that it’s almost commendable, Gunn manages to champion a guitar player’s most defining features without sounding embarrassing or dated

He might not be making sounds for fighting the many injustices of our current place and time, but Unseen in Between is nonetheless a solid compatriot against the confounding effect of going forward among them

The Irish Times
There is a 1960s psychedelic folk-rock feel to the tunes, layered acoustic guitars underpinning soaring electric guitars and vocals deep in the mix – his rather anonymous voice gains from Meg Baird’s backing vocals

The Observer
Kicks Gunn up a gear, redeploying his influences into a left-field but welcoming whole, pearlescent enough as a background listen, but sufficiently arresting to make you stop and appreciate Gunn’s chops
