Many young players look to the guitar heroes of the 60’s and 70’s for inspiration, but very few are able to channel their influences as mesmerisingly as Dorian Sorriaux. When the young French guitarist burst onto the scene with rockers Blues Pills, he displayed an incredible maturity and expressiveness as a musician that was captured on their 2014 self-titled debut. Comparisons with legendary bluesmen Peter Green and Paul Kossoff weren’t hyperbole; you could hear their quality in Dorian’s playing touch.
Now, following the success of Blues Pills’ second album ‘Lady In Gold’, Dorian Sorriaux is revealing surprising new depths to his talent, stepping out as a singer / songwriter with his debut solo EP ‘Hungry Ghost’. The EP was is available on CD & Vinyl plus download and stream, and was released on June 29th via Soulseller Records.
Recorded in rural Örebro, Sweden and produced by Dorian’s Blues Pills bandmate Zach Anderson, the psychedelic folk journey of ‘Hungry Ghost’s four songs may be a pleasant surprise to any Blues Pills listeners used to hearing the guitarist’s expressive leads. The video for the title track has already been unveiled and can be viewed here:
