Saint Solitude is the project of Asheville, NC musician and Maine native Dup Crosson, and is playing this friday at Gallery 5.
Depending on the day, or the song, Crosson alternates between the roles of singer, loop artist, multi-instrumentalist, and perhaps most importantly, songwriter. He combines his favorite elements of Britpop, shoegaze, post-punk, and psychedelia into concise, accessible, and immediately appealing pop songs.
Crosson has played under the Saint Solitude moniker since 2006, when he studied in Sweden and wrote the majority of the songs on his debut EP, Disaster Stories.
For the past 2 years, the songs have taken on an entirely different life onstage with Crosson relying on his loop station and constant instrument-swapping to fill the space that his arrangements provide on record. Now, with a full U.S. tour behind him and new backing band in tow, Crosson is preparing to embark on a new chapter to coincide with the release of his debut record, Journal of Retreat!
