Gunn/Truscinski Duo – Tape Bag

On their new album Bay Head, guitarist Steve Gunn and drummer John Truscinski offer up a sound honed by years of collaboration. Its a record full of spectral blues, haunting drones, and noise. The individual parts are simple — drums, guitar, a little synth — but they add up to something more, something AD’s Tyler Wilcox called “a perfect demonstration of the musical mind-meld these two players share.” That mind-meld is also demonstrated by Tape Bag, a collaborative mixtape presented here by Aquarium Drunkard. The tape encompasses gospel, free jazz, psychedelic rock, blues, and more.
