Dawes, have shared Ghost In The Machine. Their performance video – directed by Caitlin Gerard at Hollywood, CA’s historic EastWest Studios. Ghost In The Machine is of Dawes’ forthcoming album Misadventures Of Doomscroller, available July 22 via Rounder Records. The album was Produced by longtime collaborator Jonathan Wilson (Father John Misty, Angel Olsen).

“The words to this song are about the early days of a band,” says Dawes frontman Taylor Goldsmith. “Playing small clubs and going on small tours. As hard as it is in the moment, it’s hard not to look back at those times through rose colored glasses. It’s all a lot more romantic now. And it’s also what built our foundational faith in what we do.

“It’s the first time we’ve ever had a song with this kind of feel. We got Jonathan Wilson to play a second drum kit for the live take. Griffin and he switch off taking those drum breaks at the end. The solos were live on the floor and there’s no BGVs so other than extra percussion, a rhythm guitar, and an extra keyboard part, it’s all one live take…Feels like it’s gonna be a mainstay in the live show for a long time to come.”

Dawes will celebrate the album with headline shows, festival performances, a summer run with The Head and The Heart, and a very special co-headline tour with Canadian artist Bahamas. “An Evening with Dawes and Bahamas” will see both acts performing together for two unique live sets, with Dawes backing Bahamas and Bahamas then joining Dawes for an unprecedented collaborative performance. The tour begins September 7 at Knoxville, TN’s Bijou Theatre and then travels the US through the month. Other highlights include a once-in-a-lifetime “Tom Petty Dreamset” at Indianapolis, IN’s All In Music & Arts Festival, led by Dawes and featuring a surprise lineup of special guests (September 3-4).
