Dawes came up in the Los Angeles roots rock scene of the late 2000s carrying the torch of classic West Coast songwriting, the kind that draws direct lines back to Jackson Browne an d the Laurel Canyon tradition. By their sixth record, that foundation was secure enough to support something more outward-looking, with Taylor Goldsmith turning his ear toward the noise and fracture of contemporary American life without losing the melodic craft that built their following. On the group's sixth album, Passwords, inspiration pulls guitarist/ singer Taylor Goldsmith, drummer Griffin Goldsmith, bassist Wylie Gelber, and keyboardist Lee Pardini into their most universal, topical territory to date. This is a record about the modern world: the relationships that fill it, the politics that divide it, the small victories and big losses that give it shape. Taylor's writing is personal at points - the result of his recent engagement, which lends a sense of gravity and self-reflection to album highlights like "Time Flies Either Way" and "I Can't Love" - but it also zooms out, focusing not on the director himself, but on everything within the lens.
