Judging from the last release, they aren't afraid of subtly going in different directions sonically. These guys are almost single-handedly carrying the torch in Los Angeles for bands like them. It's been said before, but they are true to the roots of the old Laurel Canyon sound and a throwback with carefully crafted, poignant songwriting. Melody and message. Love this band.
On June 22nd, Dawes will release Passwords, the group’s sixth studio album, and fourth on their own HUB Records. Passwords is an album for and about the modern age: the relationships that fill it, the politics that divide it, and the small victories and big losses that give it shape. “We’re living in such a unique moment in history,” says lead singer and songwriter Taylor Goldsmith, “Many of these songs are an attempt to come to terms with the modern world, while always trying to consider both sides of the story.”
See them in LA on August 4th & 5th at The Forum.
