“deeply felt Southern rock anthems with the feel of classics you just haven't heard yet.” —Rolling Stone



With a sense of immediacy, Dollbaum wrote Birds of Paradise in three months. Called up the musicians he trusted and admired the most—Nick Corson, Josh Halper, and Jake Lenderman—and asked them to meet him at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, Mississippi with producer/engineer Clay Jones. They learned and tracked the album in four days, capturing lightning in a bottle, a sonic revelation Dollbaum’s writing has always been waiting for.
