Claude says:Dawes' second album arrived in 2011 with keyboard player Alex Casnoff (their only record with him) and landed on Uncut's year-end list — critics praised Taylor Goldsmith's increasingly personal songwriting and the sepia-toned, driving feel of the production. You grabbed it two years after release in early 2013 and burned through it that spring, leaning hardest on "If I Wanted Someone" and the L.A. wanderlust of "Time Spent In Los Angeles." A stray play in 2022, another in 2023, but mostly it stayed where you left it a decade ago.
