Dawn Golden

Still Life

Dexter Tortoriello is probably best know thus far for his band Houses. Adored by blogs, Houses racked up thousands of hearts on Hype Machine and appeared on the year-end lists of tastemakers like Life Aquatic and I Guess I'm Floating. But it's Dexter's dreamy side-project, Dawn Golden (formerly Dawn Golden and Rosy Cross) that caught the attention of Diplo and got him signed to Mad Decent. This is the debut full-length, featuring a "rainy day feel" (Salacious Sound) that "gives us chills every time we listen" (All Things Go).
