I created a concept to essentially hide my feelings behind,” singer and gui- tarist Claudio Sanchez told AFP as the band prepared to take the stage Sunday night at The Stone Pony in the New Jersey beach town of Asbury Park, the first stop on a tour of the United States and Mexico. In a novelty for the band, Sanchez and fellow guitarist Travis Stever were joined in the dressing room by their sons, each under two years old. “I was-and still am-a shy, reclusive, insecure individual. And for me it was easy to create a piece of fiction, because that way that fiction would get judged and I as a person wouldn’t,” Sanchez said. “At 37, I feel a little more secure. I feel like this is something I can do. I can allow the songs to speak for themselves.” Sudden ‘exposure’ The concept-or lack thereof-for “The Color Before the Sun” came as Sanchez and his wife, fellow comic writer Chondra Echert, decided to leave their home in upstate New York and briefly tried Paris, Los Angeles and Florida before moving to New York Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran City. Settled in Brooklyn’s Park Slope, a tony neighborhood with omnipresent strollers, Sanchez felt a sudden, disconcerting “exposure” as he realized that he could no longer follow his long routine of writing, far out of neighbors’ earshot, in the early morning. Sanchez decided to go fully for a real-world album after learning that he would become a father.
