Throw My Shadow To The Sun

Description

Calvin Love is a Canadian singer-songwriter, composer, and producer from
Edmonton, Alberta, now based between Edmonton and Los Angeles. With a sound
that blends noir-tinged folk pop, crooning rock ’n’ roll, and cinematic storytelling,
Love has become a distinctive voice in the international indie landscape. His music
has drawn comparisons to Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, and Bryan Ferry, with
Aquarium Drunkard describing his work as “a crestfallen soundtrack of near escape…
like Chris Isaak trapped in a David Lynch film.”
Since his debut New Radar (2012), Love has released a run of acclaimed records
including Super Future (Arts & Crafts, 2015), Highway Dancer (2018), Night Songs
(2020), and Lavender (2021). Along the way, he has collaborated with renowned
producers and artists such as Gus Seyffert (Beck, Roger Waters, Black Keys) and the
late Richard Swift (The Shins, Damien Jurado), while earning coverage from outlets
including SPIN, The Fader, Interview Magazine, and Stereogum.
A seasoned live performer, Love has toured extensively across North America,
Europe, and Asia, appearing at festivals such as SXSW, Pop Montréal, Strawberry
Festival (China), Endless Daze (South Africa), and Sled Island. He has shared stages
with Morrissey, Mac DeMarco, Courtney Barnett, Jonathan Wilson, The Divine Fits,
and Jim James, performing in iconic venues like Carnegie Hall, The Troubadour, and
Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

In early February 2026, Love releases 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 channels raw, unfiltered energy into a late night rock ’n’ roll
atmosphere built on moody grooves, gritty textures, and Love’s unmistakable croon.
The sessions brought together a formidable live band: Josh Da Costa (Drugdealer) on
drums, Brent Randall (Vanity Mirror) on bass, Davey Chegwidden (De La Soul,
Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Too Short) on percussion, Jeremy Brian Gill (Curtis
Harding) on tenor saxophone and flutes, Daniel E. Garcia (Reverend Baron) on lead
guitars, and multi instrumentalist Laena Myers (White Fence, Orville Peck, El
Mariachi Bronx) on violin.
From the hypnotic sway of “Underneath It All,” to the reverb drenched sax of
“Forever Feels,” to the heavy sludge rock crush of “Setting Sun,” Throw My Shadow
To The Sun draws from the lyrical storytelling of Dire Straits, the laid back blues of JJ
Cale, and the timeless melodic drama of Roy Orbison. The result is a cohesive, lived
in record that transforms fleeting moments and late night impressions into
something enduring and cinematic.
