Synthwave pioneers GUNSHIP invite listeners to celebrate the power of imagination on their new album Unicorn, out September 29.
Named after the international icon of fantasy and imagination, it’s emblazoned with the tagline Imagination Is A Weapon, the trio’s trademark, synth-laden atmosphere and transportative soundscapes have continued to evolve to include more rock, industrial, and EDM influences, and allow the listener to revel in an alternative reality on a 14-track electric thrill ride.
Unicorn boasts a diverse array of special guests, who each bring something different to the project. Collaborators include John Carpenter, Gavin Rossdale (Bush), Dave Lombardo (Slayer), Carpenter Brut, Timmy Cappello (Lost Boys, Tina Turner, Ringo Starr), Health, Tyler Bates (John Wick, Guardians of the Galaxy etc), Lights, Power Glove, Charlie Simpson, Britta Philips (Jem), and Milkie Way (Wargasm).
Today, the band share the first song from the much-anticipated third album, cyberpunk track Monster in Paradise, where they are joined by a host of hard-hitting collaborators including the saxman Tim Cappello, electro-punk artist Milkie Way, film composer and guitarist Tyler Bates and Slayer‘s legendary drummer Dave Lombardo.
