★Abandon Ship Records

On Steve Gunn, Steve Gunn’s 2007 debut captures a formative solo voice in raw, spacious focus. Recorded on four‑track in a Brooklyn apartment, its instrumental pieces drift between American primitive guitar, meditative drone and free improvisation - unvarnished home recordings whose patience, tonal richness and exploratory nerve already point toward a singular guitar language.

Reemerging three decades on, C.C.C.C.’s Love & Noise hits vinyl for the first time, a still‑devastating artefact where Mayuko Hino’s charged electronics and Hiroshi Hasegawa’s Moog storms turn harsh sonics into something crushing, psychedelic and strangely exultant.
