“Dawes have created something which wrestles with contemporary themes in an eloquent and thoughtful matter…Taylor Goldsmith’s vocals are the most nuanced they have ever sounded, perfectly equipped to take on the task of handling the big lyrical themes of the album.” – LOUDER THAN WAR
 
“The album leaves no doubt that these four Angelenos can play their instruments. Doomscroller’s seven tracks—six of which are at least five and a half minutes long — give the band plenty of room for key changes, tempo changes, slick solos and grooves as smooth as top-shelf scotch.”  – RIFF MAGAZINE

TORONTO, ON – July 22, 2022 – Acclaimed Los Angeles-based rockers, Dawes, have announced today’s long-awaited arrival of their eighth studio album, MISADVENTURES OF DOOMSCROLLER, available everywhere now via Rounder Records.
 
This weekend will see Dawes marking the arrival of MISADVENTURES OF DOOMSCROLLER with a historic and record-breaking performance of Someone Else’s Café / Doomscroller Tries to Relax on CBS Saturday Morning – at 10 minutes and five seconds, the longest live performance of a single song in US TV history. CBS Saturday Morning airs tomorrow morning (Saturday, July 23).
 
Produced by longtime collaborator, Jonathan Wilson (Billy Strings, Father John Misty, Angel Olsen), MISADVENTURES OF DOOMSCROLLER represents an adventurous new turn for Dawes, evincing a more ambitious, exploratory approach towards recording than ever before. The album includes such recently released singles as Ghost In The Machine, Everything Is Permanent, Comes In Waves, and the epic opening track, Someone Else’s Café / Doomscroller Tries to Relax, all available now at all DSPs and streaming services. Official performance videos – directed by Caitlin Gerard at Hollywood, CA’s historic EastWest Studios – are streaming now via YouTube. The live performance of the entire album filmed at EastWest, which was available exclusively for the first weekend when the album was initially announced, is back online and streaming now.
 
In addition, a number of exclusive bundles – including Limited Edition Preferred Pink Vinyl w/Optional Exclusive 11x11 Signed Band Photo, Turntable Slipmat, Black Hoodie, White Pocket T, and Socks – are available now at the official Dawes webstore.
 
Dawes will further celebrate MISADVENTURES OF DOOMSCROLLER with a non-stop live schedule including headline shows, festival performances, a summer run with The Head and The Heart, and a very special co-headline tour with Bahamas. An Evening with Dawes and Bahamas will see both acts performing together for two unique live sets, with Dawes backing Bahamas and Bahamas then joining Dawes for an unprecedented collaborative performance. The tour begins September 7 at Knoxville, TN’s Bijou Theatre and then travels the U.S. through the month. Other highlights include a very special solo performance by Dawes frontman Taylor Goldsmith at this weekend’s Newport Folk Festival in Newport, RI (Sunday, July 24) as well as a once-in-a-lifetime Tom Petty Dreamset at Indianapolis, IN’s All In Music & Arts Festival, led by Dawes and featuring a surprise lineup of special guests (Sunday, September 4).
