Wanderlust by Elexa Dawson and Stanley Hotel

Reviews:

“What I most appreciate about the record is the thoughtful and studied choices made for the instrumental accompaniment and the diversity of the songs' subject matter. I definitely recommend listening to these songs with quality headphones whenever possible. The sonic choices for support of the vocals are both subtle and in your face serving the songs as appropriate. The songs are fully formed, relatable and touch multiple genres including folk, pop, Indie Rock and roots. My personal favorite is Lot of Life with lessons learned and a forward looking path for whatever life you have left to experience on this side of the ether.

Elexa.... you're a grown ass woman who writes songs adults can relate to and cherish.”

Diana Linn, Tasty Brew, KKFI

“Dear Music Lovers, do yourself a favor and put this honey in your ears. Elexa Dawson delivers yet another stunning collection of heartfelt songs in her sophomore release.

A collaboration with indie folk rockers Stanley Hotel, the chemistry is palpable and the production sparkles with Dawson’s clear and powerful voice sitting comfortably in the full-spectrum arrangements.

A soul-stirring journey through earth and sky, “Wanderlust” provides the perfect soundtrack to that road-trip you’ve been dreaming about... and you don’t have to burn any gas to get there.”

Mikal Shapiro, Siren Song, KKFI

“Elexa Dawson brings a singular, authentic voice to American music. Songs that speak to joys of living and celebrate connection with others and the world at large. A refreshing voice and vision.”

Jedd Beaudoin, Strange Currency, KMUW

“Elexa Dawson’s vocal quality cuts right to the soul with a sound that is equal parts unique and nostalgic. This collaboration is magic, and every song has a beautiful and expansive feel. This record is truly refreshing and keeps you captivated from the first track to the last.”
