Dorian Gray – Robert Ascroft featuring Ora Cogan
“Dreamy atmosphere and amazing layering of sounds, that creates very melancholic vibe within the songs that will definitely trigger some deeper thoughts we might have. Progressive rock vibe is done really well, from smooth riffs to lead parts and her blissful voice is perfect fit for this roller coaster of emotions.”

Robert Ascroft’s Echo Still Remains album via Hand Drawn Dracula features an incredible cast of collaborators from the likes of Christopher Owens (Girls), Kid Congo Powers, Ora Cogan, Britta Phillips (Luna), Ruth Radelet (Chromatics), and more.
With a background in Los Angeles as a Hollywood photographer and director, it makes sense that Ascroft taps into his musician side with such a collaborative approach involving some of his closest friends in the music world. He aims for the cinematic allure of Wim Wenders or David Lynch, and it wass engineered by Ted Young (Rolling Stones, Kurt Vile, Sonic Youth), mixed by Larry Crane (Elliott Smith, The Shins), and mastered by Josh Bonati (Mac DeMarco, Slowdive).
Following the Christopher Owens (Girls) collab “Should’ve Stayed In Bed, on Thursday Ascroft will be releasing “Dorian Gray,” the video and album track collaboration with Ora Cogan.
