Just Beneath The Surface

Well, this is a big one. In this milestone episode, we team up with Taylor to explore the Dawes discography together, asking all the questions we've wondered about along the way.

Surf's up! In this episode, we take a deep dive into the ebb (E) and flow (F#) of the music and lyrics, and the flood of sensation that comes with each wave. From expansive horizons, to lightbulb filaments, to a watchful eye while champagne flows, there's no better way to spend our two-year anniversary. 

The Misadventures begin. Lace up your combat boots, call us chief, and bring your best pronunciation of "Beelzebub" for this Doomscroller breakdown—we've got some songs to sing and jokes to share.

Here's a two-for-one special where we tear into the bookend songs of Stories Don't End. In this extended episode, we open the door to 2013 mall escapades, discography red threads, and raging blood-feuds.

Here's one from the archive! In March of 2021, we sat down with Nic Palmeri for a special guest breakdown of My Girl To Me. Bassist for indie americana band The Bellegards, host of "The Blue Collar Bass Player" podcast, and 100%-certified Dawes fan, Nic offers us a fresh perspective on Dawes's musicality. You won't want to miss his stories about bass-making, awkward run-ins with exes, and cuckolding flautists.   Outro song: Old Fashioned Hearts (Bleed Like Cherries) by The Bellegards

Distinguished Dawesian, honorary DC sister, and most generous donor from our Save the Music live-stream fundraiser, Michael Ballesteros, joins us to break down a song of his choice! In our first-ever foray into Nothing is Wrong, we figure out what a Tuesday night looks like, what it means to be a man, and how to spell serenddjfiaspiety. Well, kind of.

Enjoy this director's cut of our first ever live-streamed episode of Dawescast! We drank Tequila (until it ran out), champagne (also until it ran out), chatted with Dawesians in real time, and raised money for an amazing charity all while managing to stay (somewhat) coherent for this extra special fan-filled webisode.

We should have done this sooner! In this episode, we break down 'Crack The Case' open and honestly—whatever that means… Seriously, what does that mean?! Also, we can spell.

This episode chronicles our experience of Dawes Live at SummerStage in Central Park. We met a great deal of Dawesians, distributed scads of stickers, and had our minds mushroomed by the new tune Dawes previewed for us under the Manhattan skyline. Join us for a jaunt through the epic setlist while we share fan stories and reminisce on our first Dawes concert with one another.

Didn't you hear? Love's not for words! We heard, but we didn't listen. In this episode, we check into the Hotel Cafe to examine all things fierce and correct: an early Dawes masterpiece, a 2008 treasure, bonus tracks galore, and Applebees.
