This fall marks the arrival of GOOD LUCK WITH WHATEVER, the newest studio album from folk rock outfit Dawes. Recorded with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell), the nine-track LP is being previewed today with a single called “St. Augustine at Night”.
Quiet and reflective in tone, it finds Dawes frontman Taylor Goldsmith reminiscing about home and the way that place made him feel. “But I didn’t want it any other way/ This town was the one thing that felt right,” he sings. “All these tourists could be kings during the day/ But not in St. Augustine at night.”
In addition to being about “one’s relationship to their hometown,” in a statement Goldsmith said the track is “about the varying degrees in which we all watch our lives pass us by.”
