“Flam” is the 5th album from the ever-triumphant duo of Steve Gunn (guitar) and John Truscinski (drums, synths). They have spent the better part of the last 15 years assembling a singular and expressive discography representing their unique and sympathetic interplay. “Flam” sees the duo branch out and get a little more atmospheric than the prior LPs – track after track washes over you. There’s slow burners here (“Fin”), fiery explosions (“Conviction”) & journeys to the drift (“Felt”). Essential.
