The Dials are a band formed in 2002 in Brighton, England .
The band's music is a mixture of psychedelia, country and rock. The Dials released their debut self-titled album in 2007, which Americana UK describes as "A sprawling stylistically diverse work that is almost flawlessly executed... An excellent debut."[1]
Their second album, The Companions of The Rosy Hours, was released in June 2009 to great critical acclaim. Shindig! magazine said "A band that never throw themselves wildly on a great idea, but instead nurture and raise it in absolute perfection... The Dials have made one of the most promising LPs in ages"[2]
Bassist Andy Davies was previously a member of The Jennifers, members of which went on to form Supergrass.
They are currently working on their 3rd album.
