The time between albums for any band or artist
usually comes with a few minor twists and
turns at a minimum, or in the case of JR JR
(f.k.a. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.), quite dramatic
ones. Since the release of their last full-length
in 2015, the band fronted by Josh Epstein and
Daniel Zott fought their way out of a major
label deal, assessed certain lifestyle choices
affecting one's mental health, and in Zott's
case, fostered to adopt two children only to be
surprised with a biological one as well within
the span of three months.
It has been a wild ride, and it only makes JR JR
all the more proud to announce the formation of
Love Is EZ Records in partnership with
Secretly Distribution. The newly minted label's
first release will be the band's forthcoming
double album Invocations / Conversations, due
out May 31st. The aforementioned challenges
and life events, as well as the calamitous
political and social upheaval that has taken
place over the past few years, are just a few
aspects of the beautiful, complicated, and
messy story behind two discs worth of
excellent, introspective, and emotional
songwriting.
