PRE-ORDER “Pinkerton” + UPCOMING SHOW!
Hey friends! I wanted to make sure y’all knew about my upcoming collaboration with Jessica Lea Mayfield. We’re already a single deep into the roll-out with a second single on the way. Here’s a brief backstory: Jessica Lea Mayfield and I came up with the idea of covering Weezer’s Pinkerton as a piano album while on tour together in summer of 2022. Over the last 3 years it became a passion project that we returned to in-between our other projects. Jessica’s vocals beautifully flip the perspective of the lyrics, and I really went to town with piano-based bedroom-orchestra vibes throughout. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Pinkerton so we put the finishing touches on the record last summer and fall, and are excited to share it with y’all. It’s the kind of wild idea you toss around on tour, but I guess we’re crazy enough to actually do it!
You can pre-order vinyl, CDs, and combos via Bandcamp:
There’s already been some great press for the project, based around the first single, “Why Bother?”
“Mayfield and Dolour’s version of the Weezer classic “Why Bother?” really hits different in this form.” – Stereogum
“This transforms the song entirely… it almost feels like a celebration of being single in Mayfield and Dolour’s hands.” – Cover Me
“Jessica Lea Mayfield and Dolour’s cover of “Why Bother?” is both gorgeous and engaging in a way that feels like meeting an old friend for the first time.” – Post-Trash / Fuzzy Meadows: Best New Music
Also – I wanted to let all my hometown people know that Dolour will be playing live for the first time in two years at The Sunset on April 25th! Tickets are available NOW. Hope to see as many new and old friends as possible! xo Shane
