Byzantium
September 2017
The music of Gunner & Smith has always been a collection of fiery elements, blending searing guitars, brawny rhythms and distinct folk-family vocals. But on “Byzantium”, the group’s second full-length album, the songs simmer and seethe with a newfound brooding energy that looks at the darker sides of love, loss, and humanity. Inspired by Townes Van Zant, Neil Young, and Pink Floyd, Gunner & Smith considers this album their indie folk/rock, post-David Bowie blues. The album’s producer, Nashville’s Andrija Tokic, worked on the Grammy-winning Alabama Shakes’ debut album “Boys & Girls.”
Recorded at: Sinewave Studios, Saskatoon. Produced by: Andrija Tokic. Released: September 22, 2017
