Canadian songwriter Calvin Love returns with a follow up to his acclaimed Arts & Crafts release with new EP ‘ECDYSIS’ You may not yet of heard of him but his myth is fast growing beyond his Alberta roots. Calvin is a self-proclaimed student of David Lynch and Jim Jarmusch soundtracks which clearly bleeds through his songs that explore the darkest corners of the human psyche while still maintaining a pop gloss.
Suave and imposing he casts a long trench coated shadow as if he were Gambit or Rick Deckard. While his hometown contemporaries Mac Demarco and Sean Nicholas Savage sometimes seem unavoidable in the music press Calvin has become something of a best kept secret. Title ‘Ecdysis' is the process of shedding an old skin to facilitate growth. Calvin explains;

“During the demoing process, I pulled five songs from a batch that comprises my next LP and I decided to release them as an EP. I envision these songs like a bridge from my previous methods of working, to a path to something new and evolved"

 It’s songs capture something of that mid 80s magic when a turning of the musical tides saw artists experimenting with synths and transitioning from their comfort zones of old equipment to a bold new world. There's a nostalgic air to the melodies and instrumentation which takes us back in time while still feeling utterly contemporary and essential. It comes at possibly the richest point in his songwriting career;

"This is my absolute best work. It was a very terrifying process but now it is done it was all worth it"

Fans of Sean Nicholas Savage, George Harrison, Split Enz and golden hour drives on the west coast in 1985 will be instantly charmed by this record.

ECDYSIS will be released on limited cassette in the UK by Super Fan 99 and vinyl in the US via Modern Sky Entertainment. European live dates are being planned for this Summer.

"His omnivorous interests, which span from punk to soft rock, are ripening into something lush and satisfying" THE FADER 

"He pulls a dark veil over his pristine pop compositions, capturing the feeling waking up after an all-night bender or eating in an empty diner at 4am" NOISEY

"A gently loping slice of psychedelia with spiderwebbed guitars and Love’s easy croon presiding over all" STEREOGUM

Calvin Love 'Warm Blindness & A Cool Breeze'

Not A Flame

moon shoes

my heart is so soft and stale
i waited beyond the pale
felt crushed when the world around me turned
cling to my limbs till it hurts

i dreamed of you every night
i'll think of you every time i close my eyes
the moon swooped in to set things right
and now i can't fall asleep

wind moving slow and you're not on time
then i am gone by the time you pass by
i'm already gone it's just marrow in my bones
i'm already gone it's just narrow and unknown 

i dreamed of you every night
i'll think of you every time i close my eyes
the moon swooped in to set things right
and now i can't fall 
and now i can't
fall asleep

sleep

<3 we had to do it on em one more time

lyrics:
(Chorus)
I'm hot and I'm cold
like Naomi Campbell
I might throw my cell phone 
but it's nothing you can't handle
Drink Bubbly and I get sauced
like a 90's Kate Moss
there might be a scandal,
but it's nothing you can't handle

verse 1:
Yeah he thinks I’m crazy 
Cos I’m spying and he knows this
When he makes me mad
I just tell him 
Buenas noches 
If a girl staring 
i’ma Clock her with the swiftness
I’m not armed 
But I can do some damage
With no witness, yeah 
He calls baby demon
cos they told him 
I’m A savage
He can’t handle it
Ima tell him 
He can’t have it
Need a guy that knows
This ain’t a phase 
it’s a habit
I could be sweet 
but I just love
Wreaking havoc 
Im at the party
And I’m dancing real hard 
Everybody loves me
I think that I’m a star
I think that I’m Naomi
This Chanel is not phony
Im about to go ham
Like some damn bologna
When I hop out the car
All eyes are on me
But if I have to beat some ass
Ima make it look pretty
*noises* 

(Chorus) 

Verse 2:
I’m Lookin like a fashionista
Ya its nice to meet ya
I make it look easy 
But no I can’t teach ya
When Me and clair hit the town
These boys be having seizures
If you look at us funny
It’ll be a misdemeanor 
ya I’ll cause a scandal 
But you won’t catch me in jail
Cos when I make a scene
i bet they’ll never run and tell
And if they do 
They can find me 
waiting for them in hell
U didn’t know? 
Me and the devil get along well 
This is the life
Hold on tight
I pull out a knife and I’m right
We got it made
New phone is paid
but I’ll still throw it tonight
3 shots, no chaser
go out,  got tasers
After this song 
You can find us on fader
I don’t mean to go hard 
But it's clobbering time
You can cuff me
But don’t try and put me in line
Gonna secure the bag
Turn up And have a good night
I’m not tryna fight
But if things pop off 
I just might

(Chorus)

Naomi & Kate (prod. okthxbb)

tell me
where im going
who ive known
and who ive lost
i cant see
whats in front of me
but ill open up my eyes
when ive left it all behind 
<3

Tell Me

this is a short short one, almost a teaser if you'd like not really a full track. But this one is about how my parents used to buy me things but now because i'm older they dont which makes me sad but alas it's one of the sad facts of life :(. It's also about how i felt my parents would sometimes buy my love as a kid. truth be told im now a broke university student. 
ANYWAY hope you like, it samples Beenzino's We are going to ( GO LISTEN, ALL OF HIS WORK IS AMAZING )
it also features vocal samples from fat joe, i just experimented a lil bit to see what it would sound like and i feel like it sounds pretty cool but idk that's up to you friends!

Lyrics:
I don't think my mum or my dad think it's funny
that i'm spending all their money
I know i can't afford it, why can't they just 
(check/cheque it)

Back when i was young i'd ask and i'd get it 
no matter how hard i'd cry 
what i wanted they would buy

but you can't buy my trust
when you haven't got the love
and when time costs too much 
then you'll end up in a rush 
you can spend everything as long as you spend time with me
as long as you spend time with me
