Sticker - Releases

Solo - Releases
Since his days in high school, Dakota Higgins has been producing and releasing music completely independently. His albums often feature several years of casual recordings made to document moments in his life as well as discoveries in the studio (i.e., his bedroom). Having maintained a diaristic field and studio recording process that utilizes whatever tools he has at hand (cell phones, tape recorders, friends’ field mics, etc.), Dakota approaches composition like a visual collagist, finding formal and sonic harmonies in the several pieces of disparate material he creates over great distances of time and space.
