"...chilled-out Arcade Fire, Promenade, Bright Eyes on helium... Elliott Smith-ish... Indie Pop Barry White... less angsty, male version of Fiona Apple... the album, while distinct, falls somewhere between Bright Eyes’ Digital Ash in a Digital Urn and Arcade Fire’s Funeral." - Mike Breen, CityBeat
Wake the Bear's latest album, Player Piano, is based on and inspired by Kurt Vonnegut's 1952 novel of the same name. The songs bring story lines and characters into relatable accounts of new machines, broken dreams, bourbon schemes and revolt.
WAKE THE BEAR: If We Survive This Rapture (2007)
From aliens, chickens and surviving the 1980s – to a dog, a god, and an ogling man-boy – If We Survive This Rapture wears its heart on its sleeve – without the cheese. Up-beat poppers. Low-key stoppers. Frailly held together with stuck-in-your-head glue. The sound weaves assorted keyboards, guitars, rhythms, 1970s womens choirs, gin-soaked vocals and dog whines.
WAKE THE BEAR: Woe Is Meat (2005)
Melodic layers of indie guitars, keys, rhythms and scotch-soaked vocals with an occasional dog bark.
