Louisville Courier-Journal

clipped from www.courier-journal.com Southern psychedelia By Jeffrey Lee Puckett The EP's best song, "Golden Inhibition Destroyer," is the tiniest epic ever. Without the slightest bit of specificity, it manages to create a world of missed opportunity, fatal hesitancy and an aching sadness: "There's carbon and there's love/Which one burns up/Oh, guess which one." Your first two guesses don't count, and by the time Christopher Rowell leads up to the song's cascading big finish by repeating "Is it all there is?" the tension between happy and sad is palpable and almost delicious.

Warm in the Wake promoting 'golden' EP - Out & About

clipped from keepitonrepeat.wordpress.com Keep It On Repeat clipped from keepitonrepeat.wordpress.com Memories of tenth grade rowing escapades, where if we were unfortunate enough to be caught in the wake of a passing boat we would be splashed with the anything-but-warm water of the river, surfaced when I first saw the name of this four-piece from Atlanta. They’ve already been mentioned heaps by other bloggers, but having just caught on to them, it’s imperative that I commit a post to them; I think I’ve kept them on repeat for about six times now, and I’m still looking forward to the next loop. Anyway, their music is anything but cold; it kind of envelops you in warm, fuzzy, feel good guitars and steady backing drum beats which makes me think of Death Cab For Cutie.

clipped from youlovemymewzick.blogspot.com Also, today I was sent some choice MP3's from Live Wire Recordings, home to the band I mentioned a few posts down, The Winter Sounds. One of the tracks that stuck out most to me was by these guys, Warm in the Wake. They remind me of a more western influenced Grizzly Bear or Papercuts. Superb vocals. Lovely keyboard. Gold Dust Trail was released this past February. I'm a fan.

Out The Other

clipped from outtheother.typepad.com Stream the April 3 edition of Out the Other I played a few Warm in the Wake tracks off of the excellent Gold Dust Trail EP, as well as a few other songs once the interview ended, here's what you heard, with WRVU rotation marked with a (*):

Underground Sound

clipped from www.da.wvu.edu Warm in the Wake ''Gold Dust Trail'' Grade: A This band's seven-song debut is a beautiful collection of soft, melodic music layered with many different instruments. Perfect for a relaxing half hour of bliss, this band will take you along with them as they soar peacefully down the road. Just like their band name implies, the music leaves you feeling warm and wanting more tracks. Lead singer Chris Rowell sings with the familiarity of indie bands like Wilco and Grandaddy. Warm in the Wake should please fans when they come out with a full-length CD sometime in the future. For now, though, fans will be satisfied with ''Gold Dust Trail'' enough to keep it spinning in their stereos. Standout track: ''Golden Inhibition Destroyer.''

Brooklyn

clipped from www.courierlife.net Get hold of a couple of real live wires moving through Brooklyn Now Georgia-based, all four band mates call Alabama their home sweet home. That “down south” musical upbringing emerges in their debut EP “Gold Dust Trail.” The release is a relaxing radio-friendly fare of gentle and soothing pop songs. And apparently the recorded version of WITW is just a tease of what to expect during their live show. The band is known for ramping up the energy on stage, and showcasing both the depth of their musicianship and the tightness of this group through musical exploration. Warm in the Wake’s musical chemistry is tangible, and with good reason. Bandleader Chris Rowell has been playing alongside drummer James Taylor Jr. since they were pubescent teens. Rowell and Taylor have paired up with another duo that goes way, way back: brothers Daniel and Andy Barker, on keyboards and bass respectively.

clipped from www.captainsdead.com captain’s dead home disclaimer bother me dee licious Archives Register clipped from www.captainsdead.com i want to thank rich from cable and tweed to bringing this group of atlantians/decaturites, warm in the wake, to my attention. they just released an ep entitled gold dust trail and if you are in the market for sounds that would fit ever so nicely with a beer, a backporch and warm summer evening then look no further than warm in the wake. this is sunny pop for those that may not necessarily dig sunny pop, yours truly included. “golden inhibition destroyer” is a brilliant gem that is part yankee hotel foxtrot era wilco crossed with the rollicking piano made popular, most notably, by 70’s southern rock outfits. this by no means is a southern rock record, i want to make that clear, but those influences are most definitely present. some of the guitar/production work reminds me of daniel lanois and/or t bone burnett, and some of their extended instrumental interludes are earily reminiscent of yo la tengo. clipped from www.captainsdead.com captain’s dead

RegnYouth

clipped from www.regnyouth.com With hints of Grandaddy and The Shins, Warm in the Wake successfully indicates the enormity of talent that it possesses. Even those opposed to the indie scene will be seduced by the up-tempo beats and user-friendly lyrics on ‘Gold Dust Trail’, their debut EP. Despite the occasional country undertones of songs like “Ironworkers” and the opening of “Skeleton Friends,” vocalist, Christopher Rowell engages listeners with his smooth crooning. Standout tracks include “Tame Thoughts” and “Good King.” With a first effort as substantial and ambitious as ‘Gold Dust Trail’, listeners can count on hearing a fantastic full-length from these rockers in the very near future.

Bulls-Eye

clipped from www.bullz-eye.com “Hearts vs. Heads” is a killer cut, with an opening riff that salutes fellow Georgians the Allman Brothers before galloping blissfully along to an absolutely perfect pop beat. There isn’t a throwaway track in the bunch, in fact – less difficult to achieve when you’re only offering up seven to choose from, but still, to subtract points for quantity (or creativity of band name) would be to miss out on the greater good of such an impressive collection. Kings of Leon went the EP route a few years back, and were ultimately able to back it up with not one but two signature full-length releases. Big shoes to fill, indeed, but WITW seem up to the challenge. Warm in the Wake: Gold Dust Trail

Chicago Maroon

clipped from maroon.uchicago.edu Everyone knows the feeling of passively listening to an album and being floored when a certain melody hits that suddenly commands your attention. Be it a lyric that reverberates with your own feelings or a certain guitar riff fired off with such perfection that you feel the hair on your neck stand up, every artist strives for these moments of raw emotion. The greatest albums evoke these emotions in every song, but most artists consider themselves lucky to garner such a response from their audience even once. While Warm in the Wake’s debut EP The Gold Dust Trail isn’t an album that kept my jaw hugging the floor, it is nevertheless a consistent recording with well crafted songs and a few precious moments where I was floored.

clipped from thecelebritycafe.com - A righteously thought provoking album filled with obtuse imagery that will make you sit and speculate each song’s undertone describes Warm in the Wake’s Gold Dust Trail. Warm in the Wake - Gold Dust Trail Warm in the Wake’s Gold Dust Trail is one album where you should try your best to discern the connotations behind the songs and really pay attention to the agile instrument play, as the band’s sound is one of sincerity and truthfulness.

Welcome to the newly redesigned Side One: Track One! As you can see I rid the page of that pesky sidebar so if you need something just take a second to use the menu that rests beneath the banner. The look isn't all that's different as the inner workings of the site, specifically the archive, also got a reworking so if you are linked to any of those pages then please take a moment to update your links as the old ones are now broken. I hope you guys like the new site and while I could ramble on about it all day I have decided to spare you from such torture so that I may talk about another lovely Livewire Recordings artist, namely Warm In The Wake.

Warm In The Wake is by no means a band full of new faces, all of the members of the band either have had other bands (King Lear Jet) or they have recorded or shared the stage with some well known people (Kings Of Leon, Willie Nelson, Verbena, Regia). I should probably also mention that they have been playing sporadically together throughout the years that have followed since they met as teenagers in Alabama. Now, sporadic and Alabama are things of the past as the band is calling Atlanta, Georgia home when it comes to all things Warm In The Wake. I think they will be generating some positive buzz when they're debut EP, Gold Dust Trails, drops on January 30 so jump on the bandwagon early by giving the songs below a thorough listen.

:Warm In The Wake - Good King: Livewire has a knack for digging up bands who know how to write warm and relaxing pop songs and I think that Good King is the pinnacle of that, especially since it sounds like a Southern version of something The Shins would create. I think every part of this song is pretty stellar but what really stands out for me is Christopher Rowell's warmth filled vocals. This is a gem, check it out now.

:Warm In The Wake - Tame Thoughts: In Tame Thoughts you get another Southern pop song but this one is a little shorter and a slight bit more melodic. The good thing is that it works just as well as the super relaxing ways of Good King and, if anything, I think it's great that the band doesn't only roll out one particular sound. This is one of those songs that you will find yourself humming when you don't realize it.

Cooler

clipped from always-someone-cooler.blogspot.com D'obédience américana, Warm In The Wake a dilué sa musique dans tout juste ce qu'il faut de pop pour évoquer les illustres influences citées sur leur page MySpace. The Band, Neil Young, Nick Drake, les Byrds... mais aussi et surtout The Shins et Wilco. Les fans de ces 2 groupes devraient apprécier. Warm In The Wake est un groupe de Decatur, Georgia, composé de membres originaires d'Alabama qui jouent ensemble depuis leur adolescence. Ils ont eu la chance de passer entre les mailles du filet de ma sévérité quand vient le moment de faire le ménage dans mes invitations en cours sur MySpace. Entre les groupes de métal français, les jeunes filles faciles et les rappeurs italiens (mais regardez à qui vous avez affaire avant de faire une demande!), se cachait donc une pépite!
