The Favors – The Dream
Today, The Favors (FINNEAS & Ashe) release their debut album The Dream on Darkroom Records.
The Dream includes the previously released singles “The Little Mess You Made”, “The Hudson” and “Times Square Jesus.” Today they release the new video “David’s Brother.”
Longtime friends and collaborators – award-winning singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer FINNEAS and multi-platinum artist Ashe first captured hearts with their 2019 hit “Moral of the Story” and followed it up with 2021’s “Till Forever Falls Apart.”
Drawing deep inspiration from the golden era of the Laurel Canyon, The Favors songs that are equally appropriate for the last dance in a smoky bar circa 1977 or a sunset slot at Coachella in 2027. The Dream channels the intimate storytelling and sun-soaked melancholy of artists like The Mamas and the Papas, Carole King and Crosby, Stills & Nash, Simon and Garfunkel and Fleetwood Mac—filtered through a cinematic lens that stretches coast to coast. Largely written and recorded in Nashville where Ashe resides and Los Angeles where FINNEAS is from, The Dream is a no-rules project that revives the warmth and groove of ’70s pop with razor-sharp songwriting, lush harmonies, and a distinctly modern edge.
“This is the way every artist dreams of making an album,” grins Ashe. “People don’t sing together anymore when they’re recording, but it was so romantic and fun.” FINNEAS adds, “It’s a true ‘long-play album’ in its real intended meaning. Hopefully, you can have friends over, cook a meal, and play this on vinyl front-to-back.” Ashe concludes “I want you to feel simultaneously warm, fuzzy, and heartbroken at the same time.”
The Favors are set to take the stage in Los Angeles, Red Rocks, and New York, treating fans to an unforgettable evening as they perform their upcoming album at iconic venues: Hollywood Forever Cemetery (9/18), Red Rocks Amphitheatre (9/26), and SummerStage in Central Park, NYC (10/1). In addition to new music, audiences can also look forward to performances of fan favorites from FINNEAS’ and Ashe’s solo catalogs.
