Well that’s it from us until Monday, and we leave you this week dear reader with a quiet but sparkly new song from LA’s Dawes: ‘St. Augustine at Night’ is taken from the band’s seventh studio album ‘Good Luck with Whatever’ which has been produced by Dave Cobb at Nashville’s RCA Studio A, and comes out 2nd October on Rounder. “‘St. Augustine at Night’ is a song about one’s relationship to their hometown,” says Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith, “but also is a song about the varying degrees in which we all watch our lives pass us by.” Look out for our review of the full album next month. Have a good one.

Dawes have announced that their next album, ‘Good Luck With Whatever’, will be released on 2nd October.

Kind of a better surprise too than some of the nastier ones we’ve had in recent months. Paste report: “Dawes are a band that have largely built their reputation as road warriors, with shows that give a stronger sense of immediacy and power to Taylor Goldsmith’s songwriting than can be found on their studio releases, filled with full-crowd sing-alongs and stretched-out jams that give all of the members their chance to shine. Yet it somehow took until now for them to release their first live album. “We’re All Gonna Live”, a play on their latest album “We’re All Gonna Die”, was surprise-released yesterday and features recordings from the first four shows of their current tour, which were just a month ago.
