‘2020’ is an utterly contemporary state-of-the-nation study, that uncovers a tumultuous and bleak time. Sonically, Dawson’s new-found fascination with pure pop music is also evident across the album, manifesting itself in some of his most direct work to date. Melding his most melodic moments with flashes of choral dissonance, nerve-shredding crescendos, heartfelt laments and a deceptive finger-picking style.
