“With the shattering strike of a snare, Oh Brother comes to life and so, too, does the latest iteration of Dawes,” writes No Depression journalist Alli Patton. The California rock band, led by brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith, is embarking on a distinctive new chapter with its album Oh Brother, which reflects on the duo’s 15-year musical partnership. Blending introspection with accessibility, it underscores Dawes’ evolution as one of the most sincere acts in music, effortlessly transitioning among Laurel Canyon folk rock, piano ballads and expansive jams. Each of the nine songs on the record, which is the band’s ninth, began as live recordings, then were finished in collaboration with guitarist Trevor Menear. The brothers also take the production wheel for the first time here alongside co-producer and longtime friend Mike Viola.
