StemCell Therapy

The horses of the apocalypse have been galloping in for some time now, and far be it from us to claim that a singer-songwriter from Edmonton has any chance of keeping them at bay. But to listen to Calvin Loves new single Warm Blindness & A Cool Breeze is to accept that maybe everything isnt totally fucked after all. Love has made a name for himself with a series of lush, buoyant pop compositions that temper their sweetness with a bit of bite, and his latest is no different. It does happen to come at a time when we need it most, though, hitting us with a hopeful swell of guitars and a bass line that makes our booties shake for thank god some reason other than fear.

Warm Blindness & A Cool Breeze was written by accident and impulse, the songwriter tells Consequence of Sound. [Its] a metaphor for being lost in a cognitive dissonance while under the pressure of societies imminent apocalypse. Thats not a difficult sentiment to relate to these days, but Love maintains a positive perspective until the bitter end. Just as long as youre here with me/ Everything will be alright, he sings in the coda, and theres nothing really bitter about that at all, is there?

Warm Blindess & A Cool Breeze is off Loves upcomingEcdysis EP, due out April 7th via Modern Sky. Find the info below.
