Waiting for the Dawn is a studio album by American indie rock band The Mowgli's, released on June 18, 2013 by Photo Finish Records/Island Records. The album and associated single "San Francisco" were the most successful of the band's career, placing on several charts.

Reception

Writing for Alternative Press, Evan Lucy opines that this album "sounds tailor-made for warm summer days" and compares it to 1960s sunshine pop, but complaining that while the release makes "a passable soundtrack for your summer parties, you’re likely to remember little of it the next morning".[2] Editors at AllMusic Guide chose this as an Album Pick among the band's catalog and scored it three out of five stars, with critic Matt Collar comparing the band favorably to diverse acts such as Fleetwood Mac and Grouplove and sums up that this album makes for "enjoyable, laid-back listening".[1] A brief, negative review came from Spin, ranking it two out of 10 for having "tiring cavalcade of cornball folk shouts".[3]
