"Steve Gunn's new LP is a masterclass in humanistic songrcraft ... Within its nine tracks, Gunn addresses matters of death, acceptance, and expectations, all of which round his music with serenity and credence, thus positioning him on the forefront not only as a quintessential narrator for our time, but a faithful guide who gently directs us revitalized and untroubled".

"The Unseen in Between (what a title) kicks Gunn up a gear, redeploying his influences into a left-field but welcoming whole, pearlescent enough as a background listen, but sufficiently arresting to make you stop and appreciate Gunn's chops. British folk-rock, Indian ragas and 60s pop inform New Familiar. The Smiths-y Vagabond, meanwhile, finds Gunn duetting with Espers' Meg Baird on an atmospheric road movie of a country tune ("took a job and cleaned some tombstones") lit up by Gunn's unostentatious guitar work".
