Joe Symes and the Loving Kind have been around for a minute now. They’ve long ago established themselves, their style, and their sound in the annals of indie, and, with the release of their latest album, ‘Portmanteau’, they are opening a new chapter to everything that is Joe Symes and the Loving Kind.
‘Portmanteau’ is a collection of songs that takes you on a journey. A series of virtual road trips that span emotional depth and the quirks of all aspects of life, both shallow and deep. This is one of those albums that you can hit play on track one and just let it run until the end. It will define your day. It will shape your moment. It will give you ten unique hooks that escalate and integrate you into a new fanbase.
You will find a favorite song within the realms of ‘Portmanteau’, and maybe even a few. And, those few will change from listen to listen for reason to reason. This is that kind of album.
And, in this interview, we talk with Joe and Colin about all things ‘Portmanteau’ as well as where things are going in this storied career.
