Original Music
In 2021, under the name Dolansky, I released an album mixed by
John Vanderslice titled ”I Soon May Not Be Recognizable Except By Shape”.
The music is intimate, haunting, witty and heart-wrenching. An American version of a European Leonard Cohen with hints of Matt Berninger of The National and Steve Kilby of The Church.
Check it out on Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music.
