Today, Dawes debuted a poolside performance of their second single, “Feed The Fire,” featured on their recently released sixth studio album, Passwords. Lead singer and songwriter, Taylor Goldsmith shares that the song is “about telling myself that the next bit of validation/attention I’ve been looking for is all I finally need to feel ‘okay,’ while also being aware that to attain any sort of actual peace/enlightenment then I should be trying to shed myself of that need/egocentric thinking in the first place, and the juxtaposition therein … so that made us think, “Then why don’t we perform it in front of a beautiful SWIMMING POOL?!?”
Dawes begins their extensive North American tour, kicking off at St. Paul’s Palace Theatre on Sept. 7, with recently wrapping a series of dates opening for Jeff Lynne’s ELO, with shows at NYC’s Madison Square Garden and LA’s The Forum. Dawes’ upcoming tour, titled “An Evening With Dawes: Passwords Tour,” will features two full sets of music performed by the band with no opener. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased here. Every online ticket purchase for an ‘Evening With’ Dawes show comes with either a physical CD or digital copy of Passwords. Critic response of the album has been positive, with NPR Music stating that with Dawes’ new album, “it returns to its greatest specialty: smooth and ingratiating California folk-rock that never bothers to hide its big, beating, bleeding heart.” Purchase the album on all formats here. Tour dates are listed below the picture.
