Description:
Following the release of her second album Fireproof earlier this year, singer-songwriter and recording engineer Dawn Landes has left New York to travel around and grace others with her gentle ballads in the flesh. ‘Bodyguard' has been receiving the most radio play of late and has proven itself far easier on the ears than the eardrum-piercing theme song from that film with Whitney Houston.
With a sound similar to that of Cat Power, her lyrics demonstrate a strong connection to the folk traditionalism of Woody Guthrie. In the past this Kentucky native has supported softies like Jose Gonzales and Feist, so you can assume that the NSC is more likely to be full of calm-headed hipsters tomorrow night than crooked-toothed hillbillies (no offence Woody!) - SN
