Dawes - Misadventures of Doomscroller
Released 22nd July 2022.
SK says: "If the opening track of Dawes latest album 'Misadventures of Doomscroller' begins in typical fashion- Taylor Goldsmith's aphoristic, keenly observational songwriting; a tasteful guitar solo- it takes an intriguing turn midway through when a drum breakdown is followed by a fusion-y instrumental passage, which itself gives way to an anthemic coda featuring the fraternal harmonies which have persistently elevated their music over the last decade-plus. This three-part suite turns out to be indicative of an album which sees the Californians stretch out in a way they've only done sporadically since their debut 'North Hills', as Goldsmith and producer Jonathan Wilson (whose sonic fingerprints are all over this) pursue the musical maximalism of their live shows."
From the first note, Misadventures of Doomscroller, the eighth studio album by the Los Angeles based rock band Dawes, sets a tone all its own. Record by Jonathan Wilson (Roger Waters, Father John Misty, Jackson Browne, Jenny Lewis) at his Five Star Studios nestled in Topanga Canyon, Misadventures of Doomscroller is an expansion from their previous records, the 6-track wonderfully epic and at times psychedelic album, highlights Dawes’ popular live shows, showcasing their natural musicality.
Taylor Goldsmith explains, “We’ve always tried to be minimalists. Now we wanna be maximalists. See how far a song can take us. Find the song within a song. Strive for a kind of excellence we always quietly believed we had inside us but didn’t have the balls to put it down on tape."

Released 4th April 2025 SK says: 'With Lifter Puller and The Hold Steady, Craig Finn has long been one of contemporary rock's finest lyricists but his latest solo effort puts him in rarified air. Immaculate production from The War on Drugs' Adam Granduciel drives a song suite that spins one long tragi-comic tale of lapsed Catholics, people of substance and people with substances.' Craig Finn returns with Always Been, his first solo album since 2022. The album was produced by Finn's long time ...

Expected Release 21st March 2025 SK says: 'A kaleidoscopic record that showcases the breadth of Jim James' muse and the tightness of the band. "Everyday Magic" is underpinned by a monster guitar riff hook but is followed by a track which can only really be described as the Everlys do D'yer Mak'er, while "Time Waited" is built around cascading, Bill Evans-esque piano and "Squid Ink" is the kind of dramatic, dark wigout that adorned the band's early LPs. Ten studio albums in and in their third ...

Released 7th March 2025. Vinyl released 14th March. SK says: "Blistering debut from the Newcastle act which draws as much from the 70s fusion of Weather Report and Return To Forever as it does from the bass culture influence of contemporary British jazz." Knats is the band’s much anticipated self-titled debut album. It comes on the heels of an incendiary year for the band including supporting Geordie Greep (black midi) and playing as the backing band for R&B legend Eddie Chacon on UK tour...
