LP Giobbi Announces Guest-Filled New Album ‘Dotr’ & Way Back Home Tour Dates

LP Giobbi (Leah Chisholm) confirmed a new album, Dotr, arriving on October 18 via Ninja Tune/Counter Records and previewed with the single, “Bittersweet,” featuring Portugal. The Man. The producer and DJ also announced her Way Back Home Fall Tour.

Following 2023’s Light Places, her debut solo album of original material, LP Giobbi is back with a new studio effort, Dotr. Along with Portugal. The Man, Dotr includes guest spots from Brittany Howard, Panama, Danielle Ponder and Holly Bowling.

While Dotr is ultimately a joyous record, it sees Chisholm processing the loss of three highly influential people in her life: her mother-in-law Patricia Lynn, her longtime piano teacher Carolyn Horn and family friend Suse Millemann. Dotr is also a nod to her parents, as Leah explained:

“When I was young I used to write my parents little notes and leave them under their pillow or around the house and I would sign them ‘love, Dotr’ as I was (and still am) the world’s worst speller. To this day when they write me a birthday card or whatever, they start it ‘Dear Dotr.’ This album is a lot about what it is to be a daughter, have a daughter and love a daughter, as well as a way of honoring some of the most important women in my life. There are also a lot of themes tied to home (the ones we create or the ones we were born into) which, for me, are reflected through my identity as a daughter.”

Chisholm also detailed the lead Dotr single, “Bittersweet,” featuring Portugal. The Man:

“Portugal. The Man have been my favorite band since 2012 when I discovered their album In the Mountain in the Cloud. I cannot tell you how many late night air guitar jams I have had to that album in my living room. I just about passed out when they asked me to remix one of their songs a couple years ago and then again when they sent me some tunes to work on, including what is now ‘Bittersweet.’ The vocal is one of the most attention-grabbing melodies I have heard in a long time.”
