Influences
"Everyone gives what he has. The warrior gives strength, the merchant gives merchandise, the teacher teachings, the farmer rice, the fisher fish."

"Yes indeed. And what is it now what you've got to give? What is it that you've learned, what you're able to do?"

"I can think. I can wait. I can fast."

"That's everything?"

"I believe, that's everything!"

-Siddhartha by Herman Hesse

Wait.Think.Fast - Vuelve al Mar

...Wait.Think.Fast. play pretty, catchy pop tinged with a subtle, dark spirit.

— Flavorpill

Wait Think Fast is one of the current standouts in a burgeoning scene of ethnically and musically diverse Los Angeles-based bands... the quartet adds distinct flavor to its atmospheric, post-punk sound by using both Spanish and English for its bilingual lyrics... Haunting, tightly crafted, with thoughtful lyrics.. easily transcends any language barrier.

— NPR

"...Echo Park quartet Wait. Think. Fast. more than make up for their punctuational demands with generous melody and attentive songcraft. The songs are solid without being rigid, and pretty without being cloying. My fave is the breezy, LA-atmospheric "Cien Fuegos," on which vocalist/keyboardist Santillan floats seductive Spanish over a Beach Boys/Radiohead/Elliott Smith vibe. ..."

— LA Weekly

“Vuelve al Mar” (Origami) – How do you say “dreamy” in Spanish? This intoxicating bit of shimmering shadow-pop serves its metaphysical themes well. singer-keyboardist Jacqueline Santillan narrates plaintively as holy water turns black, frogs come out at midnight, souls return to the sea and bad luck stalks he who makes bad decisions. And that’s just in one song. A couple spins of this disc, produced by Matthew Beighley (the band’s guitarist-bassist), and you won’t even notice that it’s bilungual and you’re not.

— buzzbands.la


An indie darkland of whirlpooled, noise-spiked atmospherics cut through by the lipcurled and smoke-hewn sensuousness of Jacqueline Santillan’s bilingual vocals and the sinewy crunch of wiry, Wire-y guitar lines, Wait.Think.Fast.’s Vuelve al Mar is nearly as complete a vision as any EP is allowed to be—in its thirty minutes the record swirls from the lean sinew of chiming postpunk (“Clear Our Name”) to ambient trickles of silvery, synthy beauty (“Cien Fuegos”), with each track in between bearing the band’s uniquely noirish stamp of gently apocalyptic (figure that one out) beauty.

— webinfront

Wait.Think.Fast play quick ("Surface Streets," pushing a little seagull guitar that reminds me of Ride with a nervous "fearless/forward" chorus) or charming ("Clear Our Name" is absolutely radio-ready—takes off like someone's chasing it!) but find their best when they are deep and slow and sad, like "Heavy Water" (with singer Jacqueline most tenderly aflutter in all the heartbreaking places) or the stand-out "Cien Fuegos," a dream-pop song powered by a lonely little flame all its own. Mazzy Star melancholy and mechanics on much of this, but you can feel a lot of other favorites that might be here, too: Johnny Marr and Neko Case and maybe Debbie Harry? Listener-scholars who knew how tiny parts have to align with big parts. Pinpoint production by Matthew Beighley and Jacqueline Santillan, picks out undiscovered nooks and knuckles for every listen on songs like "Heavy Water," where about five counterpointing ideas somehow sway into salutary balance, and time takes a cigarette before closer "Pajaros De Papel," an auld-lang-syne finish to an EP that already feels like an album. (Which will be coming real quick after this if the world does its math right.) People love those uncommon songs that get you feeling happy and sad both for the same four minutes; here waits a set you haven't heard yet.

—L.A. Record

"The piano-based set featured powerfully resonating keyboards and hauntingly passionate vocals, reminiscent of Patti Smith...the band managed to play an amazingly beautiful and powerful series of electro-pop/rock songs."

Performer Magazine
www.performermag.com/wcp.livereviews.0807.php

"...a female fronted Echo and The Bunnymen and The Smiths with an ethnic twist. Santillan's vocals hover like clouds above the firmly rooted post punk influenced guitars."

Amateur Chemist

"Wait Think Fast undoubtedly performed the best set of music they have ever done and if you have not heard their new, lusher than lush sound, your life would be incomplete without it."

L.A. Underground

"...listening to Wait Think Fast is like having dreams forced on your brain."

Classical Geek Theater

"...Wait Think Fast's new songs are beautiful..."

L.A. Underground, Feb 2008

"Atmospheric, ethereal, and jazzy, Wait Think Fast is an outstanding debut EP. "

- www.cdreviews.com

“Wait Think Fast are a multi-ethnic Los Angeles band that put a Latin spin on an early '80s post-punk sound... often sounds like PJ Harvey sitting in with Interpol.”

- NPR All Songs Considered

"The music is creative, sharp, balanced and made of the same material as the heart"

- SK/AR Media

"Wait Think Fast: Ex-Central City Transmission’s keyboardist introduces the new cool."

- Razorcake
