   About waking life
We are Waking Life!

We are currently working on finishing our debut album, which we have recorded in Silence Studios in Sweden and Lydkraft Studiet in Odense, Denmark. 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

*

We love the woods, and in November 2008 we went to a large cabin in the woods in the area around Rørvig in Denmark, where we pre-recorded a lot of the songs that we intended to put on our debut album.

These songs insisted on sounding even better, though, so therefore we traveled to the lovely woods of northern Sweden, around the village Koppom, where the legendary Silence Studios is located.

During 3 weeks we recorded 11 songs. All we had was our producer Niels Høgh, Mr. Silence Studios Daniel Zqaty, our technician Kasper Mohr, instruments and an amazing old tape machine!

No computers. No fancy pancy. Just music and being isolated in nature.
These songs are currently about to be finished.
We are now searching for the right record label to work with, so don't hesitate if your last name is ... Records. Contact us if you are interested in hearing more about our work and ideas about the future.

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.

Hey Benny!

Jeg nåede desværre ikke at se jer, fordi i sku så sent på scen... Øv... Det var virkeligen ærgerligt! Jeg satsede også på at få set jer på rust men det gik også i vasken! Så håber i snart spiller igen, og alle tre i bandet kan dukke op og nyde jeres musik!
