Tāmaki Makaurau jangle rockers Cowboy Dan are releasing their debut full length album; Dreams That Feel Like Falling. The album drops 19 September on streaming & vinyl.
Never overblown or overproduced, Dreams That Feel Like Falling is direct and intimate. 11 tracks of warmth, sincerity and brashness that strike a balance of breeze and overdrive.
To celebrate the release, Cowboy Dan are heading out for a run of shows throughout Te Ika-a-Māui in September and October.
Cowboy Dan have very fond memories of their first visit to Te Papa-i-Oea - good times for sure. They are delighted to bring Echo Children along for the ride from Tāmaki to share their special tunes and infectous harmoines, along with Te Whanganui-a-Tara legends Search For Yeti... This ALL AGES show is STACKED!
Once aptly described as The Bats on the right amount of Red Bull, Cowboy Dan has been treating audiences across the motu to energetic, emotionally charged tunes since 2015. Their live shows have consistently delivered good times to fans and new friends alike.
Off the back of two delightful EPs: We Will Hesitate, When We Eventually Wait (2017, Mixed by Jonathan Pearce); Sentimental Now That We're Leaving (2021, Mixed by Rohan Evans), the debut LP, Dreams That Feel Like Falling, is a continuation and a few steps forward, showcasing the bands expansive sonic pallet, with a mix of distortion, introspection, heart and bite.
Search For Yeti draws from a deep range of influences to create a sound that achieves the difficult feat of being hugely atmospheric and diverse while also being hook laden. This is an act that captures people with their onstage energy — and gets them talking afterwards about the songs that they just heard.
Following in the long tradition of innovative Aotearoa indie bands, Echo Children craft a distinctive sound by melding psychedelic pop harmonies with sharp alt-country songwriting.
Gather your pals and get ready for good times! We recall this as a peak of our last tour - will the fine folk of Te Papa-i-Oea make this so again? Surely x
