LA-based Americana collective Rose’s Pawn Shop continue to bridge the old and the new with their latest single, “Where The Horizon Has A Light,” from the band’s upcoming album American Seams (out February 27, 2026 on Copaco/Blue Élan Records). Blending driving roots instrumentation with cinematic folk-rock energy, the song embodies the expansive spirit at the heart of the record — one that celebrates endurance, reinvention, and the courage to chase something brighter.
Fueled by Paul Givant’s heartfelt vocals and storytelling, “Where The Horizon Has A Light” captures the resilience of reaching for something better on the other side of hardship. Built around their trademark fiddle, guitars, and a propulsive rhythm section, the song unfolds like an open-road anthem mirroring the song’s narrative of escape, possibility, and a love strong enough to outrun everything holding two people back. As Givant sings of “a chance to fight for more than just trying to survive,” the instrumentation swells around him, giving the lyrics the widescreen sweep of a horizon glowing with promise.
“The creation of American Seams in many ways felt like a throwback to the early days of Rose’s Pawn Shop,” says frontman Paul Givant. “We started with raw, bluegrass-inspired folk songs, and along with the guidance of incredible producer Eric Corne, we worked the songs into fully formed Americana folk-rock bangers with incredible musicians live in the studio. The end result is music that has some of the distinct early Rose’s Pawn Shop sound of fiddle, guitar, and banjo-driven melodic Americana — but with songs that are most definitely of this moment and stage of life.”
Recorded live at Robby Krieger’s Love Street Sound and produced by GRAMMY® nominee Eric Corne (Sam Morrow, John Mayall, The Brothers Comatose), American Seams captures a band rediscovering its own heartbeat. With contributions from guitarist Zachary Ross, upright bassist Stephen Andrews (Givant’s longest-running bandmate and partner in side project The Contraptionists), fiddle player Jesse Olema, and drummers Deacon Marrquin and Matt Lesser, the album plays like a love letter to endurance — a testament to friendship, loss, and the shared joy of creation.
“Where The Horizon Has A Light” is a fitting preview of the journey ahead — forward-looking, deeply human, and alive with the hope that even after long roads and worn-down spirits, there’s still a place beyond the town limits where hearts race, engines rev, and the future glows just enough to keep going.
