You wake up to sand in your shoes and and a sun that feels like flames licking your back and forehead. Golden sands run into the horizon. You see a table set with a basket of oranges. Two figures are seated at the table. They speak and sing, conjuring an intricate tapestry of images; a smooth, white kitchen, a dam that breaks, flooding the desert with water.

You’re in Myrtle World.

Myrtle is the collaborative songwriting project of Claire Dickson and Camila Ortiz. Through narrative, vocally-driven pop, Myrtle moves between dream worlds and fractured internal states.
