Release Notes:
--------
Released two months ahead of DawesÆ fourth record, ôThings Happenö sounds like a
harbinger of major changes to come. The drums are muted, as though theyÆve been
draped with towels to muffle their punch. The electric guitar, traditionally the
lifeblood of DawesÆ medium-paced folk-rock, sits low in the mix. For an album
that was tracked during a series of live takes, with producer David Rawlings
aiming to capture a snapshot of a road band in its natural environment, ôThings
Happenö û the very first track on All Your Favorite Bands û doesnÆt quite live
up to the real thing.

Eight weeks later, the rest of the album has arrived à and itÆs well worth the
wait. More aligned with the bandÆs debut than 2013Æs Stories DonÆt End, All Your
Favorite Bands is an inspired record full of space, swagger and warm, analog
glow. RawlingsÆ production feels raw and roughhewn at points, but it suits the
music, making the nine-song disc feel less like a studio project and more like a
bootleg of a killer gig in which everyoneÆs well-rested, supercharged and just
the right amount of drunk.

Taylor GoldsmithÆs voice steals the show, rattling off rapid-fire lyrics about
lost loves and long horizons with all the articulation of a stage actor. HeÆs
stunning when he sweeps into the sky-high pre-chorus of ôRight On Timeö or
raises the octave during the final minutes of ôI CanÆt Think About It Now,ö and
he matches his melodies with plenty of fretwork firepower, waiting for key
moments û such as the outro to ôSomewhere Along The Way,ö the albumÆs best track
û to turn up and get down. The rest of the band shines brightly, too,
particularly during slow-motion ballads like ôWaiting For Your Call,ö where the
guys slow down the chorus by several BPMs for three short, stunning seconds.
Why? Because they can. Because it demands our attention. And because thatÆs
something a group would normally do in concert, rather than the studio. With All
Your Favorite Bands, we get the best of both worlds.

Released two months ahead of Dawes’ fourth record, “Things Happen” sounds like a
harbinger of major changes to come. The drums are muted, as though they’ve been
draped with towels to muffle their punch. The electric guitar, traditionally the
lifeblood of Dawes’ medium-paced folk-rock, sits low in the mix. For an album
that was tracked during a series of live takes, with producer David Rawlings
aiming to capture a snapshot of a road band in its natural environment, “Things
Happen” – the very first track on All Your Favorite Bands – doesn’t quite live
up to the real thing.

Eight weeks later, the rest of the album has arrived … and it’s well worth the
wait. More aligned with the band’s debut than 2013’s Stories Don’t End, All Your
Favorite Bands is an inspired record full of space, swagger and warm, analog
glow. Rawlings’ production feels raw and roughhewn at points, but it suits the
