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."
