Dawes – North Hills

  • August 31, 2009

North Hills is the stunning debut album from Dawes, a California quartet featuring three-quarters of the band Simon Dawes. Frontman Taylor Goldsmith crafts elegant folk-pop gems that reveal a remarkably focused and mature songwriting. North Hills features gentle twang, genteel harmonies and lo-fi, dusty country sounds resulting in an intimacy and warmth that flows throughout the album. North Hills easily charms the listener with hazy atmospherics, sunshine harmonies, twangy guitars and a retro vibe with its own twist.
