Dawescast

Well, this is a big one. In this milestone episode, we team up with Taylor to explore the Dawes discography together, asking all the questions we've wondered about along the way.

Surf's up! In this episode, we take a deep dive into the ebb (E) and flow (F#) of the music and lyrics, and the flood of sensation that comes with each wave. From expansive horizons, to lightbulb filaments, to a watchful eye while champagne flows, there's no better way to spend our two-year anniversary. 

The Misadventures begin. Lace up your combat boots, call us chief, and bring your best pronunciation of “Beelzebub” for this Doomscroller breakdown—we've got some songs to sing and jokes to share.

Here's a two-for-one special where we tear into the bookend songs of Stories Don't End. In this extended episode, we open the door to 2013 mall escapades, discography red threads, and raging blood-feuds.

Here's one from the archive! In March of 2021, we sat down with Nic Palmeri for a special guest breakdown of My Girl To Me. Bassist for indie americana band The Bellegards, host of “The Blue Collar Bass Player” podcast, and 100%-certified Dawes fan, Nic offers us a fresh perspective on Dawes's musicality. You won't want to miss his stories about bass-making, awkward run-ins with exes, and cuckolding flautists.   Outro song: Old Fashioned Hearts (Bleed Like Cherries) by The Bellegards

Distinguished Dawesian, honorary DC sister, and most generous donor from our Save the Music live-stream fundraiser, Michael Ballesteros, joins us to break down a song of his choice! In our first-ever foray into Nothing is Wrong, we figure out what a Tuesday night looks like, what it means to be a man, and how to spell serenddjfiaspiety. Well, kind of.

Enjoy this director's cut of our first ever live-streamed episode of Dawescast! We drank Tequila (until it ran out), champagne (also until it ran out), chatted with Dawesians in real time, and raised money for an amazing charity all while managing to stay (somewhat) coherent for this extra special fan-filled webisode.

We should have done this sooner! In this episode, we break down ‘Crack The Case' open and honestly—whatever that means… Seriously, what does that mean?! Also, we can spell.

This episode chronicles our experience of Dawes Live at SummerStage in Central Park. We met a great deal of Dawesians, distributed scads of stickers, and had our minds mushroomed by the new tune Dawes previewed for us under the Manhattan skyline. Join us for a jaunt through the epic setlist while we share fan stories and reminisce on our first Dawes concert with one another.

Didn't you hear? Love's not for words! We heard, but we didn't listen. In this episode, we check into the Hotel Cafe to examine all things fierce and correct: an early Dawes masterpiece, a 2008 treasure, bonus tracks galore, and Applebees.

Welcome to the TH episode of the DC! In this installment, we catch up on some Dawes news (nudes?), search for relationship advice (again?), and tell our best fake ID stories (sorry, Mom). Bronze your baby's shoes and join us on a different and/or higher floor for our breakdown of this DGH (Dawes Greatest Hit).

We’re on the Don’t Send Me Away Freeway in our first foray into All Your Favorite Bands. Go ahead and leave your jacket in the car and join us for a discussion on distance, desperation, and digital relationships.

This week, we sink into the Dawes deep end; join us for a deep dive into friendship breakups, poetry, and the Dawescast Drinking Game™. Or, take a listen for *literally* no good reason at all.

Hey. In this episode, we take it back to the Simon Dawes days to dive into Blake Mills, Griff's vocals, Dawes covers, and white people. This one gets real silly, so grow out your beards (guts also welcome) and join us for another funderful breakdown.

Our love for Dawes is all we are. After working our way through the entirety of the new album, we take it all the way back to North Hills to explore love.

Get smashed to smithereens with us as we close out the first season of Dawescast with a breakdown of this bittersweet, barn-burning ballad. The only difference is, for us, it CAN always be this good!

This week we’ve got some big life updates, messages from our listeners, and a small-closet chat about our favorite Floridian town. Come stand spiritually still with us as we try and discover where the trucks go after Jacksonville and how to go to bat for the things we really care about.

The most mysterious song on Dawes' new record—the titular "Good Luck with Whatever"--baffles, mesmerizes, and rocks us into suburban paranoia. Jump into our Chevy Suburban and join us as we idle our engine, ask rhetorical questions, and clearly try too hard.

Taylor finally did it! Awards, love, and...spiritual strap-ons? It didn’t fix us, but we certainly had a blast breaking down another Dawes song.

Join us on the drive as we welcome Patrick Gabaldon—artist, cartoonist, and Dawes fan extraordinaire—to share his unique experiences with our favorite band.

In this one, Balthazar and Balthazar discuss getting punched, Father John, and artistic eternity. Join us, or don’t—it's really none of our business.

Constant stimulation, surveillance capitalism, excessive convenience, and more. Has the dream become a nightmare? Plug into this episode with us as we negotiate whether any of us are as Free As We Wanna Be.

Frankly, we think you would be remiss if you didn’t join us for our breakdown of “Who Do You Think You’re Talking To?” We’ll bring the painful memories if you bring the—wait, where’d you go?

Do you go three times ‘round revolving doors? Do you have dreams of coaching little league? Join us as we try and figure out why we Still Feel Like A Kid. Ba ba ba ba da ba ba ba!

Cosmic clues, crystals, clown class, and more. In this episode we give our first impressions of the new album Good Luck With Whatever and break down “Between The Zero And The One.”

Before we get started on the Dawes discography, we wanted to introduce ourselves. Get to know us and learn more about the podcast before we jump in with our first episode.
