Dawes: Stories Don't End
by Doug Collette
Wrapped in funereal black graphics inside and out, the music of Dawes' third studio album radiates an ambivalence that undermines its ambition.Choosing to record Stories Don't End on the east coast and enlisting the production assistance of Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Norah Jones, Kings of Leon, among others), Dawes has taken great pains to ...
Liane Carroll: Ballads
by Bruce Lindsay
