Lonnie Gunn is a New Jersey–born, Brighton-based artist making fuzz-laden, hook-heavy earworms. She exists in a realm of her own, captivating her devoted following with an irresistible combination of raw, emotive lyrics and cinematic, soft rock dreamscapes. She blends grit with melody, mournful and tense, edging the listener into catharsis. Her lyrics cut close, delivered with disarming intimacy and a dry, sly wit. Lonnie considers her music “for people who like the smell of a dentist’s practice”; there’s a strange, electric pull you can’t quite explain, but keep revisiting.
