“Homesick” is a haunting, intimate track from Victoria Dodson. Casting a ghostly glow with its ruminating guitars and ethereal vocals, “Homesick” delivers an aesthetic beauty reminiscent of Marissa Nadler. “Homesick for you,” Dodson repeats in the second half, hypnotizing with a captivating yearning and especially as the pulsing guitars and percussive pitter-pattering emerge in the final minute. The structural, folk-friendly build also recalls Fleet Foxes fondly, especially as the wordless vocals meander past the one-minute mark like a warming wordless hymnal. “Homesick” entrances with ease.
Presently based in Laval, Quebec and originally from West Virginia, Dodson shows ample promise with these newly released tracks; “Homesick” and “Opaline” both consume with their dreamy folk sound.
