D A W N S :: "So Help Me God" 7-inch out Oct 9th -- Exclusive Premiere Download at RCRDLBL -- New Tour Dates & CMJ



“D A W N S has created a thought-provoking and important work in both song and video, and we highly suggest you check both out.” - Alyssa Coluccio, PureVolume

“Ethereal, layered and deeply nuanced... When all is said and done, D A W N S makes for an engaging effort that signals the start of one of the Northwest's most promising new talents.”
- Gregory Robson, Absolute Punk

D A W N S released their Danton Supple (Coldplay, Starsailor, Morrissey) produced self-titled debut in June on the Summer Solstice. The EP is a dynamic collaboration between Montana songwriter David Boone and string-arranger, Audrey Riley (The Smiths, The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins) and combines lush melodies and orchestral arrangements with americana, indie rock and pop.

Today, RCRDLBL premieres a FREE DOWNLOAD of "So Help Me God" with Emily Zemler calling the track, "A rocklicking folk-rock number with orchestral undertones." The first new music from D A W N S since the EP and again produced by Supple"So Help Me God" will be available as a 7-inch with b-side "Camouflage" on Tuesday, October 9th.  Stream both tracks from the 7-inchhere.
