THE DAWN CHORUS http://www.thedawnchorus.com/blog "These guys are something special…” Steve Lamacq BBC Radio 2 Sat, 18 Sep 2010 20:00:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 The rest of 2010 http://www.thedawnchorus.com/blog/2010/08/31/the-rest-of-2010/ http://www.thedawnchorus.com/blog/2010/08/31/the-rest-of-2010/#comments Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:35:08 +0000 admin http://www.thedawnchorus.com/blog/?p=825 Some odds and sods to take us to the end of the year (gulp)….

SOUTHSEA FEST! On Sept 18th we play SF, we’re on EARLY, opening at the King’s Theatre, Albert Road. Early bird catches the worm.

NEW STUFF! We’re going to have some intense rehearsal/recoding sessions before the end of the year, expect to see at least an EP, maybe a mini-album, maybe a full album, maybe a double album (but probably not) early in 2011.

SPECIAL SHOW! Sunday 19th December…. a very special DC performance. More details to follow once Southsea Fest is done with.

I think I have now written enough that that huge video below doesn’t cover the menu bar any more :)

“Musically it’s a very consistent affair with the swirling atmospherics and eclectic instrumentation often proving a thrilling foil to the direct lyrics. It’s a dynamic record too which manages to explore subtle, quiet pastures on tracks such as the dainty ‘Pacifists’ and the sparse ‘Carnival Sound’, as well as the more anthemic fare. Star of the show however is the albums centrepiece, the lovelorn beauty of ‘Schumann’. It’s just a stunning song which outshines everything else here and could quite easily have found a place on Arcade Fire’s classic ‘Funeral’ album.”

“The UK folk rock conglomeration, The Dawn Chorus, bring sunshine and happy tears with their new album, “The Carnival Leaves Town”.


“At times there is a flash of Beatles genius songcrafting, then a blast of Bluresque poprock, then a sudden burst of Oasis guitar work – but never, ever, EVER does this ever sound like something tipping its hat to influence, always carving its own niche and making its own trail”.

“Like a sonic equivalent of having a picnic on a perfect English summer day with Keira Knightley!” 10/10
