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 29th August 2025 SK says: 'Another corker from the peppy Kiwi indie quartet led by Liz Stokes. 2022's Expert in a Dying Field pitched Stokes' witty, vulnerable songwriting against power pop guitar rhythms and irresistible vocal harmonies to stunning effect. Tackling similar themes here, there's a layer of subtle experimentation and a strong jangle influence that makes this one a different pleasure.'

Released 15th August 2025 Interior Live Oak draws from everything Cass has created over two decades of experimentation to cut through with a direct and clarifying light. Throughout, his attitude is hopeful, which may sound odd for someone who often sings about the more extreme aspects of modern life. Interior Live Oak, however, is the resolve of someone who has lived those extremes. Named after a tree species native to Northern California, the album sees McCombs incorporate the more economic...
