Dotr

About

<i>Dotr</i> is LP Giobbi’s way of capturing home. The title nods to a running joke in the Oregon-born artist’s family: It’s how she used to sign notes to her parents as a child because she couldn’t spell “daughter.” Her second album is also a product of celebration and grief—a reflection of what she’s gained and lost across life’s changing season. In the wake of Giobbi’s post-pandemic ascent, heavy touring left her little time at home before departing once more. Listening to “Brokedown Palace” by the Grateful Dead (her parents’ favorite band) while she boarded planes was a bittersweet ritual as she left behind her source of comfort and anticipated the possibilities ahead. Then, in the weeks leading up to her 2023 debut album <i>Light Places</i>, Giobbi lost three prominent women in her life: Patricia Lynn, her mother-in-law; Carolyn Horn, her longtime piano teacher; and Suse Millemann, a family friend who was Giobbi’s first exposure to a professional artist. .
