Redux, the latest album from Portland, Oregon musician, poet, and multimedia artist Dao Strom, is a collection of ten resurrected pieces. Reimagining songs she initially composed as a member of the Austin alt-country and singer-songwriter scenes of the early 2000s, Strom reworks these lost songs into ambient-folk mini-epics—part grounded and earthly, part ethereal and otherworldly.
The follow-up to her acclaimed 2020 book and album art project, Instrument/Traveler's Ode, Redux is a haunting song-cycle about loved ones, the natural world, and the nuances of emotional memory and Vietnamese diasporic identity.
Released on Antiquated Future Records. Listen on Bandcamp.
