Test Ticker

Please support Mother Jones with a year-end donation. The truth is, we're a long way from our $600,000 goal, and we have to get as close as we can by Tuesday so we don't have to make hard decisions come January. If you value our reporting, please consider pitching in today.

$600,000

We still need to raise 400,000: Whether you can give $5 or $500, it all matters.

TRACK 7

“Gone by the Dawn”

From Shannon and the Clams’ Gone by the Dawn

HARDLY ART

Liner notes: Shannon Shaw channels teen-girl balladeers on this lament, though the topic—lovers parting in early morning—implies an adult perspective.

Behind the music: Singer-bassist Shaw is also a longtime member of Bay Area provocateurs Hunx and His Punx.

Check it out if you like: Retro-modernists Shilpa Ray and Sonny and the Sunsets.

There isn’t a video yet for the track “Gone by the Dawn,” but in the meantime, check out “Corvette,” Shannon and the Clams’ pre-release video.
