Kentucky-born and Brooklyn-based singer / songwriter, Dawn Landes presents her third album, 'Sweet Heart Rodeo'.
Landes acclaimed second album 'Fireproof' released in 2008 garnered critical acclaim from everywhere, Q declared it to be "Understated and beautiful" (Q **** Recommended Album), whilst The Guardian called it "vivid girl-next-door indie pop in the spirit of Frente and Cat Powers." Uncut said, "Landes propels the whole project skywards with a voice that encapsulates the best qualities of Laura Veirs and Cat Powers. It's pretty much essential stuff."
'Sweet Heart Rodeo' looks set to garner even more critical acclaim. Landes great-grandmother's beau, who ran away to join the rodeo during the Great Depression, inspired the title and a rodeo theme runs throughout the record as she compares the ups and downs of romance to the rigours of bull riding.
