Biography

Kasey Anderson broke through into national attention in 2007 with "Don't Look Back" from his sophomore album, The Reckoning, produced by Eric Ambel. Two years later, Nowhere Nights (also produced by Ambel), brought attention from No Depression, Paste, The Village Voice, the Onion AV Club and Counting Crows, who covered Anderson’s song Like Teenage Gravity on their 2012 album Underwater Sunshine (Or What We Did on Our Summer Vacation). 
 Substance use and legal issues drew Anderson away from the music business for a number of years but he returned in 2018 under the moniker Hawks and Doves, releasing From a White Hotel, which drew praise from Rolling Stone, WXPN, No Depression, Bob Lefsetz and others. It was not until 2020, when a viral political short film used his song The Dangerous Ones, that Kasey Anderson began to once again be mentioned alongside the best songwriters of his generation. 
 Anderson's newest release, Let the Bloody Moon Rise — produced by Kurt Bloch and featuring an all-star backing band led by Andrew McKeag and Mike Musburger, with cameos from Mike McCready, Jeff Fielder, David Immergluck and Tim Rogers, among others — is, in the words of Hanif Abdurraqib, "a reclamation of the gifts [Anderson] has to offer"; a reminder that "the parts of us that have not been our best were also capable of some magic, and that magic deserves a life, if we can swing it."
