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.

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.
