After the success of “Forgiven Now” (DIV 003LP) it was only a matter of time before we turned our attention to the wonderful “The Dumbest Magnets”.
Dolly Varden’s music took a big leap with the release of their third album in June of 2000. Produced by Brad Jones at his live-in studio in Nashville, the band revealed a new creative maturity due to years spent on stages, in vans, writing songs, and recording together. Dawson and Christiansen came up with an astounding group of songs built around a theme of enduring commitment (to marriage, to family, to music) that touched a nerve with critics and fans alike. Over the next year the band toured the U.S. from coast to coast making new friends and loyal fans along the way. At the end of the year the album appeared on many “Best of 2000” lists across the country. Early in 2001 “The Dumbest Magnets” was released in Europe by Flying Sparks Records which led to strong radio-play, glowing press, and a string of critically-acclaimed live performances in Paris, London, and all over Britain. |
