Stephanie Dosen grew up on a peacock farm in Wisconsin.
One day while sifting through flotsam in the attic,
Stephanie found an old guitar covered in dust. It was her
secret prize. During the feather harvest while everyone
was busy, Stephanie would sneak up into the attic to write
songs for boys at school. She would practice singing them
to her two favorite pets, a swan and a fox. They wanted
to be a good audience so they clapped with their eyes.
Stephanie now writes for ghosts, mostly because they have
proven nicer than boys. These days her favorite pet is a
rusty tape player named jean-pierre that follows her
everywhere. He has made it through 7 states and 2 minor
sets of injuries but still holds onto her twilight written
songs with happiness. Today the influence of the nightly
peacock mewing and swan swimming can still be heard in her
music.
Paste magazine says, ôStephanie Dosen delivers the clear
delicate voice of a quiet SinΘad OÆConnor, the ethereal
poetry of Joni Mitchell and the soft pop strains of The
Sundaysà(her record) shines with a moonlit glow.ö Her
songs have also been featured on several television shows
such as Numbers on CBS and DawsonÆs Creek. No one seems
to really notice that all she ever listened to was Olivia
Newton John.
Her new record 'A Lily for the Spectre' is filled with
driving cradlesongs for ghosts gone astray. She has
recently teamed horses with Simon Raymonde (Bella Union,
Cocteau Twins) who blesses a lily for the spectre with
bass and filigree sounds for lost peacocks.
