The latest offering from Californian rockers Dawes has arrived, and it's a wild ride through the tumultuous world of social media and existential dread.
The Misadventures Of Doomscroller is a concept album that explores our addiction to scrolling through endless feeds, seeking validation in the digital realm.
Frontman Taylor Goldsmith's introspective lyrics delve deep into the anxiety and loneliness that often accompanies our online interactions, set against a backdrop of lush Americana-infused melodies.
Tracks like "Screen Time Blues" and "Likes Aren't Love" capture the feeling of isolation that can come from constantly seeking approval from strangers on the internet.
Musically, Dawes continues to showcase their impeccable musicianship, with intricate guitar work and tight harmonies that harken back to the heyday of Laurel Canyon.
The band effortlessly blends elements of folk, rock, and country, creating a sound that feels both timeless and contemporary.
While some may find the concept of Doomscrolling a bit heavy-handed, Dawes manages to infuse the album with enough wit and charm to keep things from feeling too preachy.
At its core, The Misadventures Of Doomscroller is a poignant reflection on the ways in which technology has shaped our lives, delivered with Dawes' trademark blend of sincerity and swagger.
