Dark-posi (An Interview with Joshua Hanson)

 “Yellow represents the mellow, the red is that fiery thing,
and they create this spark of energy,” says Joshua Hanson when
describing the song that gave way to a perfect band name, Yellow
Red Sparks. The self-titled album explores the depth of these
colors—and each shade in between—leaving us with a vivid
soundtrack of the dualities we exist within daily: the quiet
contemplation, the fire and fury, the devastation and meditation,
the contempt and contentment. It’s cinematic in scope, scored
with sweeping melodies and Joshua’s unparalleled lyrical ability
to intertwine raw, earnest emotion and seasoned, acute
observation. Yellow Red Sparks creates the sort of music that
covertly creeps under your skin, into your bloodstream, and
reignites the spark in your spirit.
