Here Lies Love / Sawdust To Stardust CD

Release date: September 25, 2026

"Sawdust is what's left after the work. Stardust is what remains after survival becomes meaning," says Lawrence Rothman. "After twenty years, the voice itself becomes archaeological, a public reckoning with every version of yourself that got buried along the way."

With Here Lies Love / Sawdust To Stardust, Rothman pairs every song with a version of themselves that no longer exists. The singer-songwriter, producer, mixer, and visual artist returns with their most soul-baring work yet, completing a trilogy begun with 2021's Good Morning, America. Recorded in Biarritz, France and Nashville, TN, the album weaves addiction, grief, identity, and lost love into something luminous, asking what happens to the pieces of ourselves that art consumes. Joined by Amanda Shires, Jillian Jacqueline, Katie Pruitt, and others, Rothman stretches their sound across folk, indie rock, Americana, and everything in between.
