Far from apathetic, Good Luck With Whatever is Dawes at their most unapologetic. It's sympathetic and magnetic, 50% genetic and highly kinetic. Songs like "Didn't Fix Me" and "Me Especially" showcase Taylor Goldsmith's poetic prowess perfectly; a historian of the human condition, transforming turmoil into motor oil. It's an unfiltered photograph of a band doing what they do best. A moment in the timeline of a 10 year old outfit who still possess the wonderment and fearlessness of when they started. Recorded at the historic RCA studios in Nashville Tennessee, Dawes teamed up with six time Grammy award winning producer Dave Cobb."As a songwriter, this album is a relinquishing of my codependence...Not concerning myself with things that I shouldn't...witnessing life around me but trying to hold back judgement. It's also about stepping more firmly into adulthood, even if a few years later than expected," says Taylor. "As a band, this album is a celebration of each other and our closeness as a group. It's the four of us live in a room not hiding behind any sort of studio magic. This band has made us stronger and brought us closer through the years and we're recognizing that and are more proud of that than ever."
