There’s a palpable mood at the heart of Highway Dancer, as mercurial, dream-like, and haunted as a late night on the open road. It's a love song to the journey, to the quiet hours, and to all of the places our minds drift to as the miles go by -- something that Love knows well. A lifelong musician, he's never been able to stay in one place for long: there was a move to Europe at 18, a couple of years in LA, and a few more spent just about everywhere else you can think of. While he's always been influenced by his nomadic lifestyle, the new album takes on a new kind of road-noir, his usual shades of deep scarlet and aubergine now laced with the clay-red of the Badlands and the ice-blue glow of the dashboard.
Love will celebrate his new release with a show at Toronto's Monarch Tavern on November 8th. |
