28 Days in the Valley

by DOROTHY

Overview

DOROTHY's 2016 debut, ROCKISDEAD, kicked up plenty of Sunset Strip sleaze, a sensibility that is completely absent from its 2018 sequel, 28 Days in the Valley. Teaming with Linda Perry -- the former 4 Non Blonde who later went on to pen hits for P!nk and Christina Aguilera -- DOROTHY strip away any element of down-and-dirty hard rock, preferring to create a heavy, melodramatic ode to Los Angeles. Lead singer Dorothy Martin co-wrote the album with Perry and, more than that, she's adopted her collaborator's penchant for exaggerated theatricality. Her overheated vocals mesh with music that owes more to classic rock bloat -- think a hybrid of the Doors and Jefferson Airplane -- than '80s grime, so 28 Days in the Valley feels like it's drifting on its own in the 2010s: there may not be many hard rock bands kicking around in the 2010s, but certainly none that sound like DOROTHY do here, as if they're a '90s post-grunge band wishing they'd been around in the glory days of the '70s, when rock & roll still meant something. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
