Red today shared the video for their latest single “Frontside,” the single is off their debut album Low Low, available August 30th via B3SCI Records. The video, directed by Dave Daniele (aka Darkroom Dave). “”Frontside” is me reflecting on youth, past relationships, and the passage of time. I tried to share all these micro-moments I experienced growing up,” explains Kendall Wright, one half of Cal in Red alongside his brother Connor. “A lot of our songs have a healthy dose of anxiety woven into the lyrics about this lifestyle we’re living. I’m getting older now. Is it time to get serious? What does that even look like? It would’ve been easy to make this song a nostalgia-bomb but I feel like the ‘now’ of it all is just as important…appreciating the present in relation to the past. The song ends with a sort of blissful acceptance. We all want to be loved and that looks different throughout life. That’s all there is, the last trick you land.”

“Frontside” follows the softly shimmering “Kitchen Ft. James Mercer.” It took a vigilant four-year creative process to create Low Low. “We gave in to some musical urges we never would’ve before,” says Kendall. To that end, the 10-track LP dabbles in a bit of ’90s indie-rock, makes a brief detour to the ’80s, and even explores some twang. Still, they never lose their way: At heart, these are melodic vignettes that feel as though they’ve been put through a dream-glow filter.

The brothers have been making music together for eight years now, first in Mertle and, for the past five years, as Cal in Red (they never played together until their cousin recruited them for their first band Mertle, Connor was still in high school at the time). This intangible bond, it turns out, is their superpower. “Communication with siblings is completely different than with anyone else,” Connor adds, appreciatively. In the end, “We have a similar perspective, a similar end goal. We fall in love with songs and artists, and we want to be that same thing for other people,” he says, of their knack for irresistible, joyous melodies. “That definitely transferred to how we write music. If we’re writing a song, it needs to be the best song.”
