"Frank Dorrey makes music the same way he pieces together his warped, uncanny digital collages: as an attempt to make dreaming a conscious process, reconstructing memories out of images that are immediately available."
"The result holds a constant tension: the uncomfortable intimacy of catching someone getting too into their music at a red light pitted against the detachment of a glitchy video call about to drop."
"Each song, plucked directly from Dorrey's SoundCloud, stuck around for about a minute, composed with the economy of an Imagist poem or a Guided by Voices deep cut: The snippets lasted just long enough to elicit feeling, leaving the impression of something greater."
"The most ambitious of these-the nine-minute 'D Presents Notes from Heaven'-opens the record, gluing mixtape-like sequences together with Mortal Kombat voice clips and dream logic."
Frank Dorrey, known as DORIS, creates music that mirrors his digital collages, aiming to make dreaming a conscious process. His tracks capture a sense of déjà vu through distorted pop song samples, combined with cryptic lyrics and heavy Auto-Tune. The 2024 Ultimate Love Songs Collection features 50 tracks, each lasting about a minute, designed to evoke emotions. His new compilation, Everything Else, includes longer pieces, with the ambitious 'D Presents Notes from Heaven' showcasing a mixtape-like flow that shifts rapidly between nostalgic references and musical highlights.
