Gitkin - Nowhere To Go But Everywhere

Guitar slinger and psychedelic funk producer, Gitkin presents his third studio album, Nowhere To Go But Everywhere, an evocative collection of mostly instrumental tracks. With elements of psychedelic cumbia, Saharan tuareg, Cuban son montuno, and psych-rock, Gitkin is a soundsmith who creates an authentic soulful energy that is mysterious yet undeniable.

The threads of what would ultimately become Nowhere To Go But Everywhere started in the thick of the pandemic. Gitkin had his head down in his analog home studio in New Orleans. Surrounded by vintage guitars, keyboards, drums, Gitkin went to work creating a work of funk art. Though largely instrumental Gitkin is joined by Dominica/ Palestinian singer Carol C on a sultry Cuban drenched track called “Tesoro”.

“Though I try to think as little as possible when I’m creating,” Gitkin said when asked about the recording of the album, “The more I get my brain out of the way the more spirit seems to creep into the tracks.” When asked about the title of the album Gitkin replied “At some point I started reflecting on a particular phase of my life in my early 20s. I was hitchhiking around the United States, seeking adventure and inspiration. Nowhere To Go But Everywhere is a quote from Jack Kerouac’s On The Road that I was reading an tha journey.”
