Oxbow - Love's Holiday - Indie Exclusive Red Vinyl

“I’ve always been chagrined that no one understood that
our songs were love songs,” says Oxbow vocalist and
lyricist Eugene Robinson, while reflecting on the band’s
output from the last 35 years. Love may not have been the
most obvious muse in their earlier work, but the subject
has never been more apparent than on their eighth studio
album, and first new music in six years, ‘Love’s Holiday’.
“But now listening to a record of exclusively love songs I
can see how no one saw that,” Robinson admits. “My
problem is how I think about love as this affects how I feel
about it, instead of the other way around.”
The band again worked with Grammy-winning engineer
and co-producer Joe Chiccarelli (White Stripes, My
Morning Jacket). ‘Love’s Holiday’ is the third Oxbow album
recorded with Chiccarelli, and the band members
uniformly state that their trust in him allowed the album to
venture into even more inviting directions, featuring guest
appearances from Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Jellyfish),
Lingua Ignota, a choir and a string quartet.
