I’m excited about this one because I’ve been keeping an eye on brother and sister duo Dorsten for a long time. Sophie’s track “Tomorrow” still makes me emotional and is one of my favourite discoveries of the last few years.
This track starts off with acoustic guitar, picked over a chugged rhythm, it’s triplets and underneath you can hear toms and a bass.
Sophie’s voice comes in strong as ever, and she just builds and builds, she’s got a soulful fire in her voice that’s always been there, the middle 8 at 0:31 gets the engine going but them she hits the chorus with full power, this is all padded out with pian percussion and distorted effects.
The second verse adds a kettle drum and reversed sound effects, it’s like the whole song’s flying around you.
Alex’s guitar work and musicianship is killing all the way through and I’m left screaming for a guitar solo but then….
It stops dead.
WHHHHHHHHHHY????
Well that’s just teasing.
Dorsten are a duo that make folk pop from Arizona, judging by this track I think they’ve got more coming and I’m here for it.
