The fourth studio album from brothers Taylor (guitars and vocals) and Griffin Goldsmith (drums), Wylie Gelber (bass) and Tay Strathairn (keyboards) is due to be released on 2nd June on the band’s own HUB label.
Dawes has been described as having a 'Laurel Canyon' sound, derived from artists such as Crosby, Stills and Nash, Joni Mitchell and Neil Young. They broke through to radio success in 2013 on the strength of their album Stories Don’t End.
According to Taylor: “The main line of the title track is ‘And may all your favorite bands stay together.’ I know that my favorite bands are a really deep part of who I am. They help define me, they help represent me, they trigger certain emotional memories, and they stand for the ideals and lifestyle that I will always hope to achieve. And I don’t mean rock and roll fantasies, but rather concepts like freedom and enlightenment. I would love for someone wishing me well to put it in the terms of ‘may all your favorite bands stay together.’ That would be a real friend. That person would know what truly matters. To me, the statement of All Your Favorite Bands immediately gets down to a highly personal and singular part of anybody in a way that few other concepts can. So that’s why we named our record after that song.”
