Product Details

Taylor Goldsmith and his bandmates recorded North Hills while still in their early twenties, drawing deeply from the Southern California canyon rock tradition of the early 1970s. The comparisons to Jackson Browne and the early Laurel Canyon scene were immediate and deserved, but Dawes were never simply revivalists; they wrote songs that felt lived-in from the first listen, and this debut announced a band with a clear sense of who they were.

2009 album from the Los Angeles-based Americana quartet. Dawes seem to get all their musicianship and expression across through the inherent nature of the instruments. They seem to have their utmost respect for the song itself, only stepping out when a song calls for it, relying on the other to keep the holes filled and the ship sailing smoothly, letting the music reflect their own personal relationships to the listener. It doesn't just sound like four guys who are playing in a room together, it finally is.
