For A While is the sixth studio album by Chicago based alt-country band Dolly Varden and their first album since the 2007 The Panic Bell release. [1] The official release date for the album was January 21, 2013 [2] but pre-release copies were made available as early as October 2012. [3]
Steve Dawson took over all the song writing duties for this album and the songs have been described as some of his most accessible, autobiographical and cohesive. [4] Dawson himself described the album as the "most contented thematically", citing agitation and frustration in some of the previous Dolly Varden albums, [4] and as having themes of "mortality, retrospection and gratitude."
