Sounds Like
Sambathunder - We fight with the trumpet in one hand and the drumsticks in the other to find a sound balancing somewhere between the striking and the soothing. We sing about living mansions and reincarnation.
And we are in love with you.
We are currently working on the songs that we intend to put on our debut album.
We are very busy, but we are busy with music, and music is freedom and so we are free.
Please spend your time dreaming, drinking and singing to your friends.
Love
Waking Life

In November 2008 we went to a large cabin in the woods in the area around Rørvig where we pre-recorded a lot of the songs that we intend to put on our debutalbum.
Doing our time in the cabin we shot a silly video which can be seen right here:
You can buy our EP "Utter that You Long for Silence & Celebrate with Us" and it is not expensive. Just send an email to asp@wakinglife.dk and we'll ship it to you.
