Dolour is a band led by Shane Tutmarc.

History

Dolour was formed in Seattle, Washington, releasing their debut 7" in mid-1998 on Theory Records, and two self-released EPs before releasing their first album Waiting For A World War in April 2001 on Sonic Boom Records. By the release of Waiting for a World War, Dolour had become a solo project for Shane Tutmarc. Tutmarc recorded Suburbiac, released on Fugitive Records in 2002, with producer Aaron Sprinkle. The self-produced New Old Friends was released on Made In Mexico Records in November 2004. In 2005, A Matter of Time: 2000-2005, an anthology, was released by Japanese label Quince Records. During 2004-2006 Dolour produced two separate albums, Hell or Highwater and Storm & Stress, which were combined and released on Japanese label Quince Records as The Years in the Wilderness in 2007. On December 6, 2007, Tutmarc announced the end of Dolour as he focused his efforts on the band Shane Tutmarc & the Traveling Mercies.[1]

After Tutmarc pursued a solo career, Dolour became active again in 2020, releasing the album The Royal We,[2] and in April 2021, the album Televangelist.[3] In 2021, Dolour also released Origin Story, comprising re-recorded songs from previous releases.[2]

Over the last 17 weeks, this album has toppled all 10+ previous albums of mine (Across all my various projects) in just about every category. Televangelist has the Most Album Sales, Most Album Streams, "Baby You're a Faker" and the title-track are my top two Most-Streamed Songs, and its easily had the Most Reach between all the countries I've shipped albums to and all the countries listening through streaming. Truly blown away by all this. And it's so encouraging after 20+ years into this gypsy life with so many ups and downs, to feel like things are actually on the upswing. Thank you all so much for making so many dreams come true this year, during such a crazy and uncertain time. If my music came in handy for you at all this last year, that's all I could hope for. XOXO Shane • #gratitudeattitude"".
