Underscore

Description: Dorian Wood is a magical typhoon disguised as a humble singer-songwriter. LA Weekly calls them "a fearless artist and performer whose voice inhabits a room like a choir of ghosts," while Mondosonoro compares their concerts to "a meteor shower and the four elements." If we had to boil down the essence of Dorian Wood’s music, we’d call it a mixture of theatrical-experimental, folk, gospel-soul, and classical music, with a large dash of performance art. Speaking with Dorian was a rare treat. On this episode, we listen to musical excerpts and talk about sensuality, queerness, classical roots, bittersweet family, Dorian’s "curvy delicious body," and so much more. Note: Dorian is non-binary, and their pronouns are them/they. At the time of this recording, Dorian still used he/him pronouns and thus the interview reflects those old pronouns. We are proud to publish this podcast episode with Dorian’s full, enthusiastic blessing. Playlist: Here is a Spotify playlist with hand-picked selections from Chrysa
