“truly stunning and ambitious” – Tiny Mix Tapes
“spellbinding” – self-titled magazine
“virtuostic” – WNYC New Sounds
“brilliant” –  Pop Matters

The mere range of sounds Sarah Pagé is able to pull out of the harp while remaining tethered to its essence is astounding. Though what really makes the record so spellbinding is its rootedness in performativity. The entire LP consists of one unaltered performance, presenting the full range of the artist and instrument, imbuing the album with a visceral vitality.

Dose Curves arrives in album format after eight years of intensive practice, playing, touring, collaborating and recording. During this period (which included her regular duties with The Barr Brothers, close collaborations with the late Mexican-American mysterion Lhasa de Sela, and appearances on recordings by Leif VollebekkJerusalem In My HeartNadah El Shazly, among many others), Pagé would test these solo works on live audiences as opportunity permitted.

Across many explorations, versions, dialogues and fine-tunings, the pieces materialize here as vibrant as ever. Rather than presenting as a deadened product of a disconnected process, the tracks on Dose Curves are wildly alive, charged with organic iteration and intent.
