Dawes – Passwords Music CD
Shipping calculated at checkout (typically $7.99)
Dawes came up through the Laurel Canyon revival scene of the late 2000s, carrying the torch of artists like Jackson Browne and the Silver Bullet Band's melodic storytelling into a new generation. By their sixth album, the Los Angeles four-piece had built a devoted following through relentless touring and a reputation for albums that reward repeated listening, and *Passwords* finds them leaning into the tension between personal intimacy and broader social observation that has always defined their best work.
On the group's sixth album, Passwords, inspiration pulls guitarist/ singer Taylor Goldsmith, drummer Griffin Goldsmith, bassist Wylie Gelber, and keyboardist Lee Pardini into their most universal, topical territory to date. This is a record about the modern world: the relationships that fill it, the politics that divide it, the small victories and big losses that give it shape. Taylor's writing is personal at points - the result of his recent engagement, which lends a sense of gravity and self-reflection to album highlights like "Time Flies Either Way" and "I Can't Love" - but it also zooms out, focusing not on the director himself, but on everything within the lens.
