Dandelioness
Dandelioness is known for her radioactive falsetto, visceral performances, and the strange, hypnotic spell she casts on every room she steps into. Equal parts bohemian goth, cosmic diarist, and mischievous shadow-work guide, she turns rock clubs into listening rooms and listening rooms into portals. Her musical life started early. As a child, Dandelioness learned to write songs under the watchful eye of family friend (and folk luminary) Carrie Newcomer and was later mentored by songwriter Krista Detor. Though she was raised on Americana, the first half of her life unfolded in New Delhi, India, where the droning ragas of the city seeped into her bones. Those echoes - ghostly, modal, and ancient - well up beneath the simple folk structures she favors, bending them toward the strange and otherworldly. In her teens and early twenties, she wrote and recorded two albums of music before running off to London to study acting. There, she met producer Josh Haynes of Lounge Studios, and the two began quietly crafting new songs. She released these as the London Tapes EP under the name Dandelioness, returning to London in 2022 to record her debut full-length, Scorpio Ballads - a mascara-stained breakup odyssey of first love savaged by distance, set across apocalyptic American landscapes and mythic underworlds.Browse all performers
