Dorsten Present Haunting New Folk-Pop Single “Hush”
Dorsten surprise once again with their latest single, ‘Hush’, a piece that reflects the authenticity of the sibling duo’s folk-pop approach and their talent for reaching the listener’s most vulnerable side.
‘Hush’ delves into a toxic relationship, revealing how love can blur the line between truth and illusion. Sophie Dorsten’s ethereal voice, sharp and clear as a crystal blade, blends seamlessly with brother Alex Dorsten‘s intricate and delicate instrumentation, creating a balance that has established them as one of the most promising acts in the folk/Americana scene.
The track delivers intimacy and power in equal measure, with an arrangement that flows between acoustic delicacy and the intensity of a captivating crescendo.
Dorsten’s career has been one of steady growth. They have performed at major festivals like Summerfest and Edmonton Folk Fest and shared the stage with artists including Mark Ambor and Tom Walker. The Arizona duo have earned a seat at the international table, strengthened by tours across the United States, Europe, and Canada. These experiences have shaped their artistry and deepened their connection with an increasingly diverse audience.
Beyond their musical evolution, Dorsten has shown a strong commitment to the artistic community. Sophie has taken part in Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Center, teaching vocal classes and performing at key events. In 2023, they released a cover of Alice Cooper and Dick Wagner’s classic ‘I Never Cry’, a tribute that received praise from Cooper himself, who described the result as “beautiful and overwhelming.” Alongside these achievements, the siblings are known for their self-produced, self-written, and self-mastered music, efforts that have earned them multiple awards.
This connection between their roots and their creative present shows that the duo not only looks forward but also honors the influences that have shaped them. Their debut EP, To The River (2024), received glowing reviews and became a key milestone in this evolution, with its title track resonating deeply with listeners.
