With the existence of the solo work from Joel J Dahl, the departure from RoadRunner and a long quiet hiatus from the band I would have bet good money on De Novo Dahl being another entry in the Nashville Rock Scene history books… gone for good. It turns out I would have lost that bet as they have just released a three song EP, City Driver, for free download over on their Bandcamp page. Their new, old, label Theory 8 also reports that a new full-length album is due in the Spring of 2010.
The new tracks are much more laid back than the frantic energy of the previous two releases and, personally, a welcome change. Looking forward to more from this latest incarnation and their set on Wednesday at Mercy Lounge (details here).
