There’s a certain ache in the space between things — the quiet pause between goodbye and healing, the breath you take before choosing to stay. Sid Dorey lives in that space, and in Middle Seat, they make it sing.
From the opening note, the EP invites listeners into a raw, emotional interior — a kind of sonic journal of growing up, letting go, and daring to be held. Dorey doesn’t just write songs; they tell truths. Big ones. Grief, queer identity, spiritual wounds, self-worth — nothing is off-limits, and everything is treated with grace.
Tracks unfold like confessions whispered in the backseat of a late-night car ride. The melodies are as tender as they are bold, with sweeping hooks that never lose their intimacy. And in true Sid fashion, the lyrics cut deep: “You said love would save me — then you vanished with the light,” they sing, and you feel it in your chest.
What Middle Seat does best is transform discomfort into something beautiful. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to be in the driver’s seat to move forward — sometimes, the middle is where the real connection happens.
This isn’t just a sophomore EP. It’s a soul reckoning. And it might just be Sid Dorey’s most important work yet.
