Days You Were Leaving [LP]

Rose Dorn is a trio of songwriters who, though initially scattered across Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, ultimately came together in a stranger's house somewhere in Eagle Rock. This origin story functions well as a metaphor for their music. At once eerily familiar-close to home-and simultaneously resistant to total understanding, these songs never arrive where or when you're expecting them to, as figments of a dream that are only able to be narrativized upon waking. Showcasing the synergy of three sensitive minds, Rose Dorn's bittersweet songs never fail to reflect multiple sides of the moods and stories they're sharing. Therein lies the power, even magic, of a Rose Dorn song. And this is to say nothing of the music itself, of the tones and textures that walk this same line of (ethe)reality. "... unmistakably human, music that produces a concerned feeling in your stomach, that rush of empathy as if someone is in trouble nearby." Balloon Machine
