If Dottie Sang

Every RecoMyst song begins with a poem. Sometimes a verse arrives and a melody already waiting inside finds its home there — as if the words were written for it. Other times, the poem calls for something entirely new, and a melody is born from the rhythm of the language itself, the pauses, the longing between the lines.

Once the melody takes shape, the work of time travel begins. Deep in the music of the poem's era — the parlour songs, the jazz clubs, the radio broadcasts — the arrangements are built to carry the listener back. The result is music that feels at once timeless and intimately of its moment.
