February Record Review

Dorothy Alice

Kyle Emerson

Guilty Pleasure Records

If you’re looking for some psychedelic-driven, acoustic music to set the tone for a cloudy workday or a sunny drive toward the local mountains, Kyle Emerson has got you covered. His musical career started in a local Denver psych group called Plum, and after the band dissolved, he went on to play his own moody, introspective version of trippy, off-center folk. Dorothy Alice is the perfect debut album to set the tone for a long career. Some stand-out songs are the title track, and the catchy, short ballad entitled “Off the Road.”
