Canadian artist Calvin Love has spent most of his life as a journeyman, leaving his native Alberta at 18 to experience life “spent everywhere else you could think of.” That spirit is reflected on his forthcoming album Highway Dancer, and we’re delighted to give you the first look at the video for the latest single.
“Wildflower” pulls you in immediately with its opening notes that call to mind Angelo Badalamenti’s “Falling,” and from there it opens into something equally as lovely and haunting. Both the song and the video will immerse you in a gorgeous feeling of melancholy. Plus, there’s a saxophone solo!
Highway Dancer is set for release on October 26th via Modern Sky USA.
You can catch Calvin Love in or around Los Angeles at these upcoming shows:
Friday 9.28 – Pioneertown Motel w/ Korey Dane
Sunday 9.30 – La Poubelle w/ Goldstar
Friday 10.12 – Peppermint Club /The Sheepdogs
