The Favors, the newly formed duo of FINNEAS and Ashe, have announced their debut album The Dream, set for release on September 19, 2025, via Darkroom Records. The announcement follows the release of their single “The Hudson,” a piano-led ballad, and marks the pair’s first official tour as a band.

Tour stops include performances at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles (Sept. 18), Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Sept. 26), Central Park Summerstage in New York City (Oct. 1), and two appearances at Austin City Limits Music Festival (Oct. 3 and 10). Tickets go on sale Friday, July 18 at 10 a.m. local time.

Longtime collaborators, FINNEAS and Ashe rose to prominence with 2019’s “Moral of the Story” and 2021’s “Till Forever Falls Apart.” In June 2025, they officially began recording as The Favors. Their debut album draws influence from 1970s Laurel Canyon folk-pop and artists like Carole King, Fleetwood Mac, and Simon & Garfunkel, blending retro harmonies with modern production.

The Dream was written and recorded between Los Angeles and Nashville, reflecting the artists’ respective home bases. The project emphasizes live vocal recording, analog warmth, and long-form listening—what FINNEAS refers to as “a true ‘long-play’ album.”
