Trouser Dress’ newest song is a powerful exploration of personal growth and self-awareness. Recorded with indie producer Adam Pattrick, Trouser Dress expands their sound, building upon their signature ukulele-centered arrangements with drums, bass, and Adam’s expert mixing – which are just a few of the gems this track offers. While the ukulele remains a central element, the addition of drums, bass, and Adam’s skilled production creates a fuller sound that beautifully complements the artist’s introspective storytelling.

At the heart of “Dandelion & Burdock” is Trouser Dress’s lyrical prowess, which draws on inspiration from the resilience of dandelions, in which the artist reflects on their own journey of self-discovery and the evolving nature of identity.
