Tyler Gunn Unleashes His Heaviest Single Yet with “Love Is a Countdown Clock”

Tyler Gunn is a Canadian singer-songwriter and producer whose sound fuses 90s alt-rock grit with shoegaze melancholy, threading falsetto melodies through walls of distorted guitar and raw emotion. Based in Ontario, Gunn draws on grunge, dream pop, and art rock to craft songs that feel both expansive and intimately unfiltered, each track a different lens on heartbreak, reinvention, and the slow unraveling of belief.

His latest single, “Love Is a Countdown Clock,” is his heaviest, most unflinching release to date. Driven by blistering guitars and fast-paced percussion, the track channels the desert swagger of Queens of the Stone Age and the atmospheric weight of Deftones, while lyrically confronting emotional fatigue and the quiet surrender that follows unfulfilled longing. “It’s rare that I even know what a song is about until after finishing it,” Gunn says. “But this one felt likecatharsis—like giving up, and being weirdly okay with that.”

Anchored in themes of loss, identity, and emotional dislocation, Gunn’s music doesn’t offer neat resolutions. Instead, it digs into the grey space between clarity and confusion, where meaning reveals itself slowly, if at all. “If love’s a countdown clock,” he sings, “then what’s it matter anyway?”

With “Love Is a Countdown Clock,” Tyler Gunn doesn’t just add to his genre-blurring catalog, he lights a match and lets it smolder. Gritty, atmospheric, and vulnerable, this track cements his place as a fearless voice in the alt-rock underground.
