Released in 2023, Unicorn is the latest cinematic synthwave odyssey from UK-based trio Gunship. This special indie exclusive edition arrives on two heavyweight LPs in the striking "Blood and Chrome" color variant, mastered at 45 RPM for enhanced fidelity. Known for their immersive sonic storytelling and neon-drenched aesthetics, Gunship delivers a densely layered album that pulls influence from retro-futurist films, 80s arcade culture, and modern electronic innovation. This edition is individually numbered, making it a highly sought-after version for collectors and fans of the band’s evolving soundscape.
Musically, Unicorn is a kaleidoscopic fusion of synth-pop, outrun, cyberpunk, and alt-rock textures. Gunship expands their sonic palette with cinematic depth and rich guest features, creating moments that are both introspective and explosive. "Monster in Paradise" channels a moody, dreamlike energy with lush synths and haunting vocals. "Taste Like Venom" offers a harder, adrenaline-fueled rhythm that pulses with darkwave urgency. "Tech Noir 2" continues the narrative thread from the original cult-favorite track, bringing fresh production and a brooding atmosphere layered in nostalgic dread. The album's pacing balances introspective tracks with full-throttle synth anthems that invite both headphones and dance floors.
This 2xLP pressing features high-definition 45 RPM mastering for exceptional sound clarity, especially noticeable in the stereo separation. The vinyl itself comes in a stunning Blood and Chrome, red with black marbled pattern, packaged in a deluxe jacket with unique artwork exclusive to this indie edition. Each copy is individually numbered and pressed with care to satisfy both fans and aesthetic collectors. Unicorn's presentation is a perfect match for its thematic depth, making it not only a sonic experience but also a visual statement piece for any vinyl library.
