The Amsterdam based 4-piece Dakota seamlessly blend California feels with garage rock and pop – their dreamy and hazy sound lulls and soothes, makes you close your eyes and drift away, before taking a swing at you and whacking you on the head with raving guitar riffs and pounding rhythms. On their debut album Dakota ponder if refusing to let go of your dreams is just mindless determination or if it’s an actual decision you keep making, each and every day. Is it now just idiotic pride that keeps you on the same path or are we resolved to do this? Is holding on for dear life the right choice or should you know when to let go? This album is about staring at the abyss and daring to ask all the questions.
