Info zu Misadventures Of Doomscroller

"Misadventures Of Doomscroller" wurde von Jonathan Wilson (Billy Strings, Father John Misty, Angel Olsen) produziert und stellt eine neue, abenteuerliche Richtung für Dawes dar, die einen ehrgeizigeren und experimentelleren Ansatz bei den Aufnahmen zeigt als je zuvor. "Wir waren schon immer stolz darauf, Minimalisten zu sein. Mit dieser Platte haben wir uns vorgenommen, MAXIMALISTEN zu sein", sagt Goldsmith. "Immer noch ein Quartett. Die Songs sollen sich nicht hinter irgendwelchen Tricks oder Effekten verstecken."

Wir wollten auch die traditionelle Länge eines Albums von 40-45 Minuten - respektieren, aber keine Rücksicht auf die Anzahl der Tracks nehmen. So wie es Miles oder Herbie oft getan haben. Jedes Mal, wenn eine Aufnahme abgeschlossen war, fühlte es sich wie eine große Leistung an. Dass diese 10 Minuten dauerte, war für uns nicht wirklich erschwerend. Ich wollte nicht derjenige sein, der es in Minute 7 oder 8 vergeigt, wenn alle bis dahin fehlerfrei gespielt haben. Das ganze Album und vor allem dieser Song haben sich ein wenig jenseits unserer Komfortzone angefühlt, und ich bin wirklich stolz darauf, was das aus der Musik gemacht hat. Ich denke, dass man den Augenkontakt hören kann, dass man hört, wie wir mit den Füßen denken." (Taylor Goldsmith)

Dawes
California-based roots rock band Dawes were formed in the Los Angeles suburb of North Hills by brothers Taylor Goldsmith and Griffin Goldsmith (lead vocals/guitar and drums, respectively), Wylie Gelber (bass), and Alex Casnoff (guitar). They were previously in the band Simon Dawes, but after Blake Mills left the group, they changed the name (and added Casnoff, who was soon replaced by Tay Strathairn). Unlike the more intense indie rock sound they had as Simon Dawes, Dawes were heavily influenced by the gentle, acoustic-based musical trappings and rich vocal harmony of the Laurel Canyon sound (Crosby, Stills & Nash, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell), as well as by the shambling, romanticized Americana of the Band. After connecting with producer Jonathan Wilson, the group began participating in informal jam sessions at Wilson's house with Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst, the Heartbreakers' Benmont Tench, and the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson. The loose feel of these get-togethers informed the group's aptly titled 2009 debut North Hills. The album was recorded in Laurel Canyon live to analog tape, which lent Dawes' recorded sound an authentically vintage vibe.

The band's second album, 2011's Nothing Is Wrong had a similar feel to the debut and peaked at number 23 on the Billboard album charts. That same year, the band had a pair of unique experiences: playing at the Occupy Wall Street protests and appearing as themselves on a prime-time network television show (Parenthood). Stories Don't End, the group's hotly anticipated third studio album, arrived in 2013. Recorded in Nashville at the esteemed Woodland Studios with producer David Rawlings (Gillian Welch, Old Crow Medicine Show), the Hub-issued All Your Favorite Bands arrived in June 2015.
