The fifth album by folk-rockers Dawes is a little different, to say the least; where there used to be earnest, Americana-tinged indie tunes there are now thick grooves, fuzzy riffs and overall darker hues. It takes some getting used to, as this is a substantial step away from even their previous album (
All Your Favorite Bands, released just over a year ago). That said, once the rhythms and choruses start to stick, we're reminded that at the heart of all of this is a deeply ingrained gift for songwriting that lends
We're All Gonna Die a sense of familiarity, even in its most divergent moments.
