RRR and PBS FM - Feature Album Of The Week!

Palm Springs is the outsider folk identity of Erica Dunn and an evolving cast of essential collaborators. Born out of a compulsion to write sparse, intimate verse and named for her nervous affliction -sweaty hands - Palm Springs has been a cornerstone of Dunn’s songwriting that sits in a seperate interior back room from her other creative outputs (Tropical Fuck Storm, MOD CON, Fiancée, Harmony et al.)

'Turning Yr Back On The Dolphin' pulls together a tangle of threads that represent seven years of reflection and rumination; an Alice-through-the-looking-glass journey which catalogues existential crisis under the arch of Hadrian (Infinity 69), nihilism vs. wonderment (No Contest), the torture and reward of unshackling from a toxic relationship (Your Ashes, My Tree) and the weight of wading through the waters of modernity as we know it (Lay Your Eric Burden Down). The titular track sees Dunn enlist the piano for the first time to document an aching and introspective stream of consciousness poem which dances along the knife edge crux of this record- the beauty and the pain of existence.
