Fear Of Loss

Gun Outfit's “Out of Range" is out November 10, 2017 on Paradise of Bachelors.
Buy from label: http://www.paradiseofbachelors.com/shop/pob-036
Other online options (physical/download/streaming): https://lnk.to/PoB36

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 insidiously 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

With its echoing grooves, drifting landscapes, and new textures—bits of bluegrass banjo, homemade electric sitars—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

Peyote for the ears... Expansive, arid, and dusty. – Uncut

Gun Outfit: Out of Range - "Strange Insistence" (PoB-036, 2017)

Bad Girl

Backyard beers brew old memories
Bonfires and high school stories
Not so long ago

Chicago concerts on weeknights
Bring out those constant fights
Let's see how much we regret

How's the night almost over?
Your head just got on my shoulder
So let's pick up right where we left off
Before we got broken-hearted

You want a night in the city
You got nobody but me

Oh Lord, that really happened
Tell ourselves this wasn't planned
It only took us so long

Walking back to your car
You never did park too far
From all my unclear thoughts

Then I'll see Michigan
And I’m hoping you again
Crawl right back into bed
How can I comprehend
what we don't understand?

You want a night in the city
You got nobody but me

And I know that come tomorrow all our friends will go
“You hear about him and so and so? We thought they'd take it slow”

You want a night in the city
You got nobody but me

Lyrics:
A yellowed teethed man with a french old song
quietly he plays for the birds

he pours his notes in the gutter streams
filling the city’s canals

Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now

As his lungs pull in the bitter smog
He gives a clean breath to a stray dog

A strange man indeed to let all see him bleed
never thinking he’s done a good deed

Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now

The broken voice appears to be without fears
as it reaches for my childhood summer years

So you share a coin with a hope to conjoin
he nods his head and I go straight ahead

Singing
Don’t leave me now
Ne me quitte pas
Don’t leave me now
Ne me quitte pas

The Troubadour (Don't leave me now)

Lyrics:

[v1]
We made a mess, but I don’t mind
It made sense to be friends for a long time, but
Here we are so what do we do now
Maybe we’re afraid cause we got something to lose now
Good enough, but it looks like we shot it
So if we’ve already given up
Do we stop it?

[v2]
We’ve been in the same cycle for a while
Swimming up against the current and we wonder why we struggle
When we stop saying what we mean when we mean it
Stop having any hope when we know we believe it
And we repeat it ‘til we drop it
If we’re gonna fall apart
Do we stop it?

[bridge]
Stop saying that we weren’t enough
Stop saying that I wasn’t enough
Stop thinking you can call my bluff
Stop thinking that you’re calling my bluff
You’re not cause
I’ve gotten good at getting over you
You gave me plenty of practice
“We can’t be mad about it if we laugh about it”
And you can’t stop laughing

Stop It (Stripped)

In the morning
When the sun's wet
I will surface then sink
Down there somewhere
Unrefracted
I am breathing it in
Akin to tinder
Swaddled softly
In a filmy plastic sheet
Or a trophy
Dressed in old glass britches
I am pushing it, I am pushing it

Like the neon
On a cheap marquee
I am shaking
Until mischief
With a stone in hand
Casts out mercy
So I light up
Once more
Brighter than before
And with embers tearing downward through the cool air
I wipe my cheek
And at last I am clean

Eyes are digging
Always digging
I am buried
In the carpet
On the window sill
I rest in shades of green
Like a fungus
Or a moldy fruit
Thriving underneath
The careful watch of present-minded people
And I rise unseen
Yeah, I rise unseen
I rise unseen
Yeah, I rise unseen

~ Lyrics

An hour in real time passes like a second on a broken clock.
I stay in bed all day just to realise that this’ll be the third on the trot.
I set the foundation for a life that I don’t know how to build.
And I take a step backwards and I fall down the same old hills.
I hope that you return to me, it’s mighty lonely on my own in the city.
I hope I find some better company, where theyre willing to be caring for my pity.
And I do not want to wake up to the shame, but I’m far to tired for these games.
We will bury this with all our memories, right beside the last love that took it all away.

(Pre Chorus)
Oh, as sweet as you were,
you turned out to be fools gold in the dark dirt.
You ripped through the house, whirlwind tearing everything to the cold ground
Your words through the phone, forced the skin right off of my white bones.
And I lay, surrounded by these thoughts

(Chorus)
Our Tiny fires, I swear they’ll burn some day
I want them wild and in some place it never rains.
We belong, Deep inside the blaze,
just like we did back in our early days.

I move in straight lines and follow cats eyes beside the road.
I know directions but where they take me we’ll never know,
Please fire a flare so I know that you are out there,
Safe and sound, with a beacon over your head.
I hope that you are missing me, I feel it too when alone in the country
I miss the sirens and the song repeats, late nights that I wish I could remember
I’d do anything I can to make you stay, but your mind’s made you’ll leave anyway.
I sure hope your train's delayed, theres so much more I need to say.

Oh, as sweet as you were,
you turned out to be fools gold in the dark dirt.
You ripped through the house, whirlwind tearing everything to the cold ground
Your words through the phone, forced the skin right off of my white bones.
And I lay, surrounded by these thoughts

(Middle)

(Chorus)

Lyrics:

I might be far from shining
Not always clear
The streets are dark and frightening
But you are there

Our words are still not speaking
I’m not afraid
The road that we are walking
Is still the same

All in all, all in all
I’ll be there and I will call
And all in all, all in all
There’s no writing on the wall
But I'll be there, for you and me
We'll be free
We’ll be free
We’ll be free, eeee, eeee, eeee

You might think I’ve been doubting
At times I’m scared
All days that we’ve been counting
Are those I feared 

My tears are rarely falling
When yours are there
The way our thoughts are calling
Is still the same

All in all, all in all
I’ll be there and I will call
And all in all, all in all
There’s no writing on the wall
But I'll be there, for you and me
We'll be free
We’ll be free
We’ll be free, eeee, eeee, eeee

We’ll be free
We’ll be free
We’ll be free, eeee, eeee

All in all, all in all
There’s no writing on that wall
And all in all, all in all
There’s no writing on the wall
And I’ll be there, for you and me
We’ll be free
