Calvin Love - Throw My Shadow To The Sun

Rare Form/Taxi Gauche Records

Calvin Love is a singer-songwriter, composer, and producer whose music blends noir-tinged folk-psych, crooning rock ’n’ roll, and cinematic storytelling. Over the past decade he has emerged as a distinctive voice in the international indie landscape. His work has drawn comparisons to Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, and Bryan Ferry, with Aquarium Drunkard describing it as “a crestfallen soundtrack of near-escape… like Chris Isaak trapped in a David Lynch film.”

Love has released his seventh studio album, Throw My Shadow To The Sun — a bold, visceral statement that captures him at a new creative peak. Self-produced and recorded by Reverend Baron at The Ladder Factory in East Los Angeles, the album’s built on hypnotic grooves, reverb-drenched saxophone, gritty guitar textures, and Love’s unmistakable croon.

Highlights include the reverberant saxophone glow of “Forever Feels,” the dreamy romantic Americana of “1 Mile From Heaven,” and the hypnotic sway of “My God.” Drawing from the lyrical storytelling of Dire Straits, the laid-back blues of JJ Cale, and the timeless melodic drama of Roy Orbison, the album unfolds as a cohesive, lived-in record that transforms fleeting late-night impressions into something enduring and cinematic.
