{"product_id":"gun-outfit_process-and-realitylimited-gatefold-cover_2026_dif","title":"Process and Reality\/Limited Gatefold Cover","description":"For twenty years, Gun Outfit has defined itself less by genre than by its consistency, patience, and commitment to creating music that reflects their experiences. Formed in Olympia, Washington, in 2006, but long since based in Los Angeles, the band has evolved from a raw duo to a formidable quintet. Their sound, rooted in rudimentary post-punk, has developed into music that is both expansive and intimate, always imbued with an experimental dimension.\n\nWith Process \u0026 Reality, Gun Outfit returns with their most ambitious and immersive work to date: a sprawling 80-minute double album, shaped by time, environment, and philosophy. Recorded in a single month, at the end of summer 2020, on an 80-acre ranch in Pine Flat, California, while a gigantic wildfire raged less than ten miles away, these tracks germinated in a manner both austere and strange.\n\nIts title, Process \u0026 Reality, is inspired by the central work of philosopher Alfred North Whitehead, whose philosophy places intuition, experience, creativity, and relationality at the center of existence.\n\nThe band's current lineup attests to both its longevity and open-mindedness. Sharp and Keith remain the band's principal architects, joined by long-time drummer Daniel Swire, multi-instrumentalist Henry Barnes, and bassist Kayla Cohen. Other collaborators include Chris Cohen, Warren Lee, and Danny Sasaki, each bringing additional depth and subtly leaving their mark on the album.\n\nMusically, the album expands the band's sonic palette without disavowing its essence. Dulcimer, autoharp, sitar, melodica, keyboards, handcrafted electronics, and a vast array of acoustic and electric textures are deployed. The sound is both gentle and expansive, with tracks oscillating between fragility and dense atmospheric passages.\n\nInfluences manifest indirectly rather than explicitly. Elements of reggae and dub permeate the production's spatialization. Echoes of European jam bands with long tracks sit alongside incisive post-punk. British folk traditions, American country, and West Coast classics blend and unravel with the shifting influences. The band is never afraid to take the lead or follow the flow.","brand":"Gun Outfit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56762754629976,"sku":null,"price":23822376.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0828887117716.jpg?v=1771612194","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/gun-outfit_process-and-realitylimited-gatefold-cover_2026_dif","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
