Jul 11, 2013What’s particularly exciting about this disc is the possibility that lies in Gunn’s interleaving of timeless songs and allover “time”--few of his influences and even fewer of his peers have searched in this direction.

MagnetJun 26, 2013There's no flashiness here, but a slow-burning passion makes this record smoke. [No.99, p.56]
-
The WireDec 10, 2013This is resolutely a group effort, and freer and more fluid than, say, the proto-Americana of The Grateful Dead's American Beauty. [Sep 2013, p.52]
-
MojoAug 13, 2013An impressive follow-up album. [Sep 2013, p.96]

UncutJul 10, 2013At times, it's like an architectural drawing. But the repetitions soothe and tease, and then you start to hear the leaves. [Aug 2013, p.78]

Jul 2, 2013His latest LP, Time Off, is his most tuneful yet.
-
Jun 26, 2013Time Off contains great songs. It's warm, spacious, sophisticated, and elastic.
-
Jul 12, 2013Time Off’s biggest asset is its ease. There’s a real sense, listening to these tracks, that everything could be a little simpler if we all stopped trying so hard.

Oct 21, 2013As pleasant as Gunn is a guitarist, he’s an equally low-key vocalist, his flat delivery and barbiturate baritone unobtrusive and lackadaisical — just kind of there, often, buried slightly beneath Trucinski’s and well below his own gently spiraling guitar in the mix. It’s kind of a shame, actually, as Gunn’s Impressionist vignettes are quite interesting on close listen, showcasing Gunn’s marked maturity as a songwriter.

Jun 26, 2013Dynamics or structure are not a major concern; these songs sound happy to just get the ignition working.
-
Jun 26, 2013Time Off, his first solo album with a full band (including Duo drummer John Truscinski), is his most accomplished record to date.
-
Jun 26, 2013Time Off takes its time getting where it’s going, but deftly reaches its destination.
