“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

The Dawn Chorus will release new album ‘The Carnival Leaves Town’ on February 22nd 2010, via Jelly Maid Music. The album will be preceeded by new single ‘Carnivalesque’, featuring Frank Turner, which will be free to download during February 2010. To do so, you will first need to sign up at:
 
 
Once signed up you can download 4 lost DC B-sides whilst waiting for January to come…. I particularly recommend ‘Heart of Hearts’ and ‘We Can Have it All’. Go on, it’s free.
 
We will be launching the album with a headline show at Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms on Saturday February 20th 2010. We’re very excited about this and more info will follow.
 
Take care,
Love the DC
