New Jersey–born, Brighton-based artist Lonnie Gunn shares new single Taxidermy Swan from her new EP 2013 horsemeat scandal.
Lonnie Gunn is an artist hailing from New Jersey and now based in Brighton, known for crafting catchy, fuzz-driven tunes that linger in your mind. 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.
Gunn 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.
Taxidermy Swan explores the dark, intense boundaries of love transforming into obsessive devotion. The song's vivid imagery was heavily inspired by the time-lapse animal decay footage in Peter Greenaway's film A Zed & Two Noughts, alongside directly quoted poetry from Richard Siken.
"the track leans heavily into complex emotional violence and control"
With live dates supporting TTSSFU, Silver Gore and last April, the opening for Kim Gordon at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, 2026 will see her release her most ambitious work yet.
