On “Daydream” per Calvin to The Fader:
Daydream was written as an escape plan,
from the everyday routine.
A call out to a special someone,
while waiting for the winter to fade.
More about Calvin Love:
Only once with every blue moon comes an artist that seems so familiar yet out of space as Calvin Love. Newly signed to Arts & Crafts, the young charmer from Edmonton, Alberta, steeps songs of psychedelic wisdom in celestial sensuality. Calvin Love arrives an enigma, a strutting, crooning contradiction: as menacing as he is magnetic, like sex and murder wrapped together in a trench coat. With coolness that defies contrivance, Love links sounds and images of science-fiction vintage with an auspicious version of the future.
Calvin does it all with convincing ease, a crooked handsomeness belying his wide-eyed honesty and the curios experimentation of these tunes. First new song “Daydream” makes landfall with near-tropical humidity: cavernous, scuttling drum lines echo Calvin’s lilting vocals and stalactite guitar phrasing, exposing how nimbly he moves from sunny to gritty climes.
Tour Dates:
2/26/15 – Baby’s All Right – Brooklyn, NY
6/6-7/15 – Field Trip Music & Arts Festival – Toronto, ON
