Status update: Dawes scrolls past the SoCal sound on new album Passwords


Dawes expanded its sound for the new album Passwords, but remains true to its musical
roots. “We never really sat down and said, ‘Let’s make a record that sounds like The Band,’
but whatever you listen to as a kid is just kind of knocking around your head and forms your intuitions as a musician and a songwriter,” says bassist Wylie Gelber (second from right).
