There’s just something about Dawes…there’s this natural essence of rock to their music. It’s not forced, and it’s not heavy. There certainly are elements of other genres mixed in there as well, but these guys have this pureness to their tunes. It’s difficult for me to explain, but maybe you’ll hear what I mean in this live Daytrotter session. It includes tracks from their new album, Nothing Is Wrong.
Pureness = Jonathan Wilson, who produced North Hills = that Laurel Canyon sound. I love that they backed Robbie for the Clairvoyant appearances.
