Husbands, the musical project founded by Danny Davis, just dropped their latest album ‘Cuatro’ via Thirty Tigers. The album is filled with catchy melodies and lyrics that are inspired Davis’ real-life transition of leaving his 9-to-5 engineering job and a transatlantic move to Costa Rica. Under Danny’s guidance, Husbands has evolved, incorporating new band members and exploring diverse influences, especially on songs like “You Used to Surf” and “Can’t Do Anything” exemplifying their sonic evolution. “Before I quit my job, music was an outlet to channel negativity into some sort of release,” says Davis, citing the grind of his one-time software engineering job and growing up in Oklahoma’s bible belt as his reasons to let loose. With one of the major conflicts in his life now resolved, he decided to go back to the basics of why he loved music in the first place by writing universal and inviting songs you could easily grab onto. “I grew up with popular music—it’s what my dad listened to—and I still love it as an art form,” he says. “I just wanted to make an album for people to be able to sing along and feel a connection through it.”
B-Sides caught up with Danny Davis of Husbands to talk about performing at Austin City Limits this year, his personal evolution that brought new perspective and approach to the band and more.
