Dawn Chorus began in 2001 when recent Greensboro, NC transplant Amy Kingsley walked into Gate City Noise, the local record shop owned by Andrew Dudek. In time, Amy would end up joining Dudek and his neighbor, Will Ridenour, a multiinstrumentalist with ethnomusical tendencies, in many late night sessions at Dudek’s house. Roughly a year later Zachary Mull joined and completed their current core line-up. Ten songs that crackle and sparkle with elements of pop, southern jangle, rock and subtle hints of shoegaze. Recorded by Brian Paulson (Beck, Wilco, Superchunk). Florida St. Serenade is Dawn Chorus\' third record.

The opening trio of tunes is especially impressive. “I’m Cured!” has one of those jagged guitar lines that sounds made-up-on-the-spot, but is all the more charming for it. “Oh Please” packs romantic angst into energetic hooks, and “Whitman’s Sampler” is the real stunner here. A jaunty, dusty, country-western-style coed duet, it’s so tried-and-true that you can’t believe it’s not a cover of some lost Tammy Wynette classic. .\" Pop Matters \"The record could be a lesson on sequencing. Opening with the sprightly “I’m Cured,” the record sets its spirited pace with the opening three songs, before using Mull’s “I Missed It,” full of one of his most Neil Young-esque vocal performances, to reel it back in. The title track is a nearly eight minute slow-build that uses cathartic drum cadences at key points to keep the song’s languid pace interesting. “The Pearl” and “Carly Anchovy” take the pace back up before the album grounds itself for the dynamic closing songs, “It’s Human” and the majestic “Dust.” Within Dawn Chorus’ sound are elements of the soaring indie-rock of the 90s combined with the structure and tone of classic singer/songwriter music. Dudek’s songs lean towards the former while Mull’s head in the other direction, but it’s undoubtedly the work of the band that laces the whole album with a consistent sound, no matter who is singing.\" Aquarium Drunkard
