Seasonal Hire (2015)

"Twin talents operating on the outskirts of American folk music, Steve Gunn and the Black Twig Pickers are separated by both time and distance. The two share, though, a similar approach – an attitude that by rebelling against tradition the principles through which it is under-pinned can be renewed. A work of startling intensity, new collaborative full length 'Seasonal Hire' neatly fuses the differing sounds of Steve Gunn and the Black Twig Pickers into a cohesive, intoxicating whole. Gunn's circular, meditative guitar lines are allowed to pirouette around each piece, with the Black Twig Pickers managing to conjure some astonishingly warped, weird and downright bizarre sounds from their Old Timey approach. Always respectful of the traditions from which they emerge, Steve Gunn and the Black Twig Pickers are happy to less these sounds evolve exponentially into stunning, unforeseen vistas. A real gem.” (CLASH)
