‘To The River’ is quite possibly the best EP I’ve heard all year. And that’s saying something! Courtesy of Arizona-based brother-sister duo Sophie and Alex Dorsten, known collectively as Dorsten, ‘To The River’ is an exquisite and emotionally powerful five-track offering that has simply blown me away. Showcasing Sophie’s gorgeous vocals, which are hauntingly reminiscent of Florence Welch, each folky tune has a life and soul of its own that captivates with ethereal charm.
“This EP signifies our growth from childhood to adulthood, and the life experiences along the way,” says the duo. “We are so excited to share these songs that we’ve crafted with time and love”.
Produced by Alex and recorded in his home studio, the EP is beautifully stitched together and assembled. Each track is perfectly placed, and the record flows with a seamless elegance that reflects the duo’s meticulous attention to detail.
Currently touring Europe as Mark Ambor’s support act, Dorsten is solidifying their reputation as a serious act to keep an eye (and ear) on in the indie music scene. We’ve fallen head over heels with ‘To The River’, and can’t wait to hear what they get up to next!
