New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Coming off their late 2020 indie debut album Parachute, Portland,
Maine trio LOVE BY NUMB3RS have today shared "Red Sun," the first single from a planned upcoming album. Listen here to the mysterious and evocative song, in which the characters undergo a transformative spiritual experience as they travel through the Southwestern United States. Stay tuned for a desert-themed video for the song in the next few weeks.
Written by the band, the song underlines the many charms of the band-co-vocalists DAN CONNOR and ANNA LOMBARD and multi-instrumentalist JON ROODS-who chart a course through eloquent alternative, dusty blues, graceful folk, and rootsy rock.
The concept of "Red Sun," explains ANNA, "started as a demo with just Dan on acoustic guitar with a chorus singing 'See you when we reach the shore, we'll meet up in
Vegas at Bellagio.' He had this idea to create a song about being a refugee and making it through the water to America-and landing in Vegas, the city of Second Chances." She adds: "The characters in the song left everything they knew to make a better lifeā¦packed minimally with maybe a picture or two and a wad of dollar bills."
This past March LOVE BY NUMB3RS released the single/video for "Western Son" from Parachute. It was premiered at Glide Magazine which noted that the band "bring a sultry and twangy Nashville sound from the northeastern continental 48s. The band offers a timeless polished sound that brings the earthy smoky overtones of
Linda Ronstadt, Gillian Welch, and
Grace Potter." PARACHUTE turned the page for a new chapter of three longtime friends and collaborators. After 15 years of friendship, countless memories, two albums and a 100-plus shows in the band Gypsy Tailwind, the trio thread together an unforgettable journey.
