Richmond born Windhand is known for their unique brand of doom/sludge metal, and their lead singer Dorthia Cottrell’s pipes usually guide the train through the fuzz. But Cottrell is going unplugged, releasing her first solo record, and heading out on tour this Spring, and we’re pretty pumped.
Check out her already successful single below:
Cottrell had received praise for some time, with NPR calling the songstress one who “channels the lonelier and darker side of Americana…her voice resides somewhere between Mark Lanegan’s husky howl and Lucinda Williams’ desperate heartache, with a breathier heft that gives me the vapors.”
We’re already pretty huge Windhand fans, and it’s always great to see an RVA artist make headlines.
Check out Cottrell at her record release party at Strange Matter on March 22nd, and or at one of her other stops on tour listed below.
