REDOLENT
By definition, the word ‘redolent’ opens two avenues: to be strongly reminiscent or suggestive of something, or a sweet-smelling fragrance. For the band, their namesake is a word that carries so much beyond its definition. It functions not simply to stimulate an awakening to your own history, but is evocative, too, of a destination. It might seem simple to lean so heavily into a name on a first encounter, but when experiencing the sound of Redolent, there is no better place to start.
“I feel like the smell connotations of the word translates to audio,” songwriter and vocalist Robin explains. “When you hear a song and you’re transported somewhere. That’s been my thing from the start, I’ve had such huge feelings from attaching songs to things. So that’s what I’m doing, I’m attaching songs to memories, to photos.”
