"Gunslinger" is a pensive meditation that ruminates on taking love with you to a new place. Blanketed with a soft layer of minimal synths, lo-fi bedroom recorder Erik David Hidde, who goes by Prison Escapee, sings with a calm demeanor, with a slightly indistinct delivery that only adds to the song’s shimmering dreamscape. There’s a certain uncertainty lingering through his mind, though he’s more so eager and expectant of what is to come.
This is the second reveal off of Prison Escapee’s forthcoming album Disappearing Mountaintop, which will be self-released on June 16. Take a listen to "Gunslinger" below.
