Dawn Landes - Fireproof (2007)

Folk songs with Indie-rock production. "Dawn Landes' music falls in a strange place in a musical landscape defined by both sound and vision, where your package and your people have as much to do with your success as your music does. As with her surprising debut Dawn's Music from last year, the new album Fireproof is packaged as a mystery (hand-screened cardboard sleeve with no discernable label information), populated with lovely, accomplished and haunting acoustic pop that deserves a much bigger audience than this self-released enigma could ever reach. Landes' melancholy falls somewhere in the realm of Cat Power crossed with Gillian Welch, or Suzanne Vega meets Diane Cluck. She writes hooky, smart pop songs, and delivers them with laidback yet self-assured style. She has laid off the accordion on the new album, but the disc is populated with a variety of warm sounds beyond the acoustic guitar which holds them together, from banjo to bells. And Landes' playing is just as compelling as her confident and emotional vocals. Perhaps Landes is comfortable where she is, crafting pop nuggets for a small group of friends and supporters, but with her songwriting, voice, musicianship and natural beauty she is a dead ringer for the next big thing, and despite all that, she's also a dead ringer for a true artist who will continue to do things her own way.

Bridging the worlds of indie rock, alt-country, and folk, singer/songwriter Dawn Landes has played with a similarly diverse range of artists, including Fred Eaglesmith, Amy Rigby, John Gorka, and Rainer Maria. A Louisville, KY, native, Landes moved to New York to attend N.Y.U. and play music; she obtained a weekly spot at the Jack Hardy song exchange and also plays frequent shows in New York as well as on the campuses of Yale, Sarah Lawrence, Barnard, Columbia, Brown, and, of course, her own school. In May 2001, Landes recorded her debut album, The Musician, with her band in Nashville, TN.

Dawn's music comes from the mouth, mind and hands of New York-based singer-songwriter Dawn Landes. Reminiscent of the raw traditionalism of Woody Guthrie and the experimental alt-folk lyricism of artists like Joanna Newsome, the Louisville KY native plays a variety of instruments (8-dollar guitars! pink accordions! glockenspiels! optigons!).

Whether she's performing by herself or with accomplices (members of the bands Hem and The Earlies), her live show brings moving silence to the crowd and has caught the attention of a number of popular touring artists who've taken her on the road. In addition to her gig performing with Rounder recording artists Hem (backing vocals and Glockenspiel), Dawn has supported the likes of Jose Gonzalez, Suzanne Vega, Le Tigre, Rainer Maria, Andrew Bird, Feist, M83, Josh Ritter, Jane Siberry and Shannon Wright.

Dawn recently finished her second full-length album "Fireproof" which will be released May 29th 2007 in Europe by Fargo Records. it's available exclusively in the US through cdbaby and iTunes.

Oh, we almost forgot! Dawn's day job is as a recording engineer, working with such renowned artists as Hem, Philip Glass, Joseph Arthur and Ryan Adams.

Fireproof was made in an old fire-station in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Recorded mostly live to 2" tape with Ray Rizzo on the drums, Jonny Flower on bass, Dawn on guitar/vocals, and Adam Lasus at the tape machine. Dawn camped out in the studio alone for a week doing overdubs and tinkering with various electronics, then Gary Maurer came in to mix the record. Bob Hoffnar, Steve Curtis, and Gary Maurer (all members of the band HEM) added beautiful things to the album.
