Warm In The Wake
AMERICAN
PRHISTORIC--
(LIVE WIRE)-
A lovely mix of acoustic guitars, analog synths and dreamy
vocals from this Atlanta bunch and I have to tell you, I
went from not liking this record to sorta liking it to loving
it in the past 10 minutes. Leader Chris Rowell is onto something
here…in the same ballpark as Band of Horses, Mercury
Rev and The Flaming Lips but still unique enough to stand
in a different line. “Pawn Shop Heart” is an
epic, cosmic rocker that swirls and sways and ends before
you want it to while the title track is epic in a different
way as it soars n’ swoops and never quite lands on
terra firma. “She’d never Seen It” is like
the Feelies fighting The Byrds on angel dust or peyote or
lots of pot. Ok, after I finish this review I’m going
to call up every human being I know and tell them to buy
this record. Now go wait for your call! www.livewirerecordings.net

Chris - I met Dr Kelley outside of my real estate HQ at Kowaliga - drop by my blog at www.lakemartinvoice.com and give me an email or call - let's catch up.
By the way, there was no need to come up with this fancy "Warm in the Wake" name when I would have licensed you "We Are Naked" for mere pennies...
Congrats and continued success,
JCC
