. . . . . . . .Dawson returns when the world needs him most, bringing to the table charming ambient, indie jams with ‘More than I bargained For’ and its B-side ‘If I could read you, would I want to?’, both available on August 9.
Dawson has become known for his talent for composition, as well as his flair for singing and songwriting shining through in his own independent works. His flair has led him all over, with two national tours under his belt as well as shared stage with legends like Broods, Emma Louise, Vera Blue, Japanese Wallpaper, Asta, Thelma Plum, Bob Moses, Andy Bull, Wafia, and Boo Seeka.
This duo of songs let Dawson’s talent for composition shine through, balancing a modern electronic sound with a retrocore indie-alt charm. ‘More than I bargained for’ shows off Dawson’s skill at composition with instruments, as heavy drums and sweet guitar come together with rich vocals to form an ambient, emotional soundscape. It plays on themes of apathy, discontent, and repetition in a relationship. Dawson states: “‘More than I bargained for’ is a song about feelings of apathy and discontent in a relationship, like no matter what you try you always end up in the same place. It’s also about not knowing whether these feelings are a result of something changing within yourself or someone else.”
It’s b-side is the yin to its yang. ‘If I could read you, would I want to?’ is a carefully sculpted, sci-fi, electronic daze with sparkling synth, delving into arguments and how difficult it can be to speak your mind without hurting someone else.
Tune into the twists and turns of Dawson’s newest single ‘More than I bargained for’ and its B-side ‘If I could read you, would I want to?’ when they drop on August 9th.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
