Description
For anyone looking to quickly learn how Matt Dorrien’s second LP differs from the first, the Portland pianist and songwriter has provided some helpful hints. The first is right there in the title. His debut was ‘In the Key of Grey’, a reflection of its somber mood and post-breakup theme. This one’s called ‘Blue Pastoral’ – big, expansive, rich, colorful, covering everything from fizzy samba-surf exotica to twinkling cocktail jazz. Dorrien opened the last album singing, ‘Baby, I’m so lost’; three songs into this one, over caramel-colored strings, he sings, ‘Baby, I’m so happy our paths crossed’.
