Dark-posi (An Interview with Joshua Hanson)

Therapy Sessions Podcast

“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.
