about

Celtic Goddess of War and Death, the Morrígu, served as an icon for me in dark times: a shapeshifter who can predict the fate of warriors in battle, associated with life and death cycles. I felt like the Covid pandemic killed off a piece of me. It was in those lowest moments that I connected to the creation of this music and was able to find new life in its process.

lyrics

Light of day fading into the night
On the whispering wind, an apparition
Will you hold me close, when you take me home?
In this nightmare we shared the stars aligned around your head

You could be sowing doubt in my mind
Rotting root and stem under your spell
All of the wanting, all of the lives you led
Echo through the times that we shared

At the bottom of everything, you loved another
Crossed an ocean of emptiness to bring me another open heart
And I could have had everything I wanted, if you let me try

Only you see the way I can love you, the way I can love you

In the night, your shape taking form
Tremble from the fear of your scorn
All the forgotten, all of the death and doom
Riding by your side for all of time

At the bottom of everything, you loved another
Crossed an ocean of emptiness to bring me another open heart
And I could have had everything I wanted, if you let me try

Only you can see the way I can love you, the way I can love you

Dutch Experts Vermont

Born out of the Covid Pandemic, Dutch Experts is inspired by the gothic landscape of The Cure, and melodic choices informed by Kate Bush and Cocteau Twins. Capturing a uniquely modern sound with an 80s sonic sensibility, undulating synths driven by chorus-laden bass and danceable drum beats, pair with Hoffman's euphonious soprano, paying homage to an aesthetic gone by. ... more
