Lady Dan - I Am The Prophet (WINE SPILL RED ON CLEAR VINYL) |-

There's a paradoxically perfect union between a broken heart and cowboy twang. Tyler Dozier's songs as Lady Dan tap even deeper into that sublime intersection where searing pain can reach sublime heights. Her own tale of hurt comes complete with multilayered existential quandaries, of empowerment and restriction, of life and death, of faith and its absence. On her debut album I Am the Prophet, the Austin-based musician weaves intensely personal storytelling, poetic imagery, biblical allusion, immaculate arrangements, and crackling songwriting into an irresistible melancholic melange.
