In their debut album Last Spring, Dawn Riding has crafted a project that is somehow fierce, intimate, outlaw, passionate, and psychedelic, all at the same time. Having cut their teeth in basements, underground venues, and punk houses around the country, it only made sense for Dawn Riding’s debut to come to life in a dusty mid-fi recording studio run out of a San Francisco garage. The eight psych-tinged songs that came out of the Last Spring sessions unveil the stories of songwriter Sarah Rose Janko’s fabled friendships, renegade icons, and uncompromising ethos, and serve as a perfect introduction to Dawn Riding’s dreamy, gritty sound. It’s an album for loners & relentless romantics, full of emotional casualties, resilient heroes, and living close to the edge.

Dawn Riding is Sarah Rose Janko (lead vocal/acoustic guitar), Hall McCann (harmony vocal/electric guitar), and Jasmyn Wong (drums). All songs on Last Spring are written by Sarah Rose Janko, co-produced by Sarah Rose Janko & Jason Cirimele, recorded & mixed by Jason Cirimele (Dusty Sea Studios), and mastered by JJ Golden at Golden Mastering. Additional instrumentation by Jason Cirimele (bass, percussion) & Jessica Leigh Smith (harmonica).
