DORIAN reimagines Oscar Wilde’s meditation on beauty, time, and the price of living without consequence. The album inhabits the space between the portrait and the man, where every pleasure leaves a mark that only the canvas records.
The tracks trace an arc from seduction to dissolution: the intoxication of a life lived entirely on the surface, the slow realization that surfaces have depth after all, and the final confrontation with the image that kept the score. The production mirrors the narrative, beginning in polished elegance and gradually revealing textures that are rawer, more urgent, less willing to charm.
A concept album about the cost of beauty and the beauty of cost, where the portrait in the attic is the only honest thing in the room.
