About Me



Warm in the Wake is comprised of Christopher Rowell (guitar, vocals), James Taylor, Jr. (drums), Daniel Barker (keys), and Andy Barker (bass). We live and make music in Atlanta, GA, but grew up playing in Alabama. Many dark and beautiful days dripped into our youth....shadows of statues, ill histories, hot mountains, movie stars, and the contemplation of earthly pleasures creep into our songs today.

Latest Press "Incorporating the rich melodic hooks of the Beatles and XTC, the lyrical twists of Neil Young and Dylan, and sonic effects reminiscent of early Roxy Music, American Prehistoric expands and already big tent.”—NO DEPRESSION

"It's as if Brian Eno suddenly started knob-twiddling for an unkonown Southern band's porch jam....That promise of excitement is what makes the spaced-out stretches of this LP worth contemplating for hours on end." —MAGNET

"Cool, melancholic harmonies, analog synths and strummed guitars add intriguing layers to this somewhat psychedelic yet bucolic mid-tempo indie/Americana....the band's hypnotic melodies and floating vocals are spellbinding." —AMERICAN SONGWRITER MAGAZINE

"the album's chiming guitars amble through bright folk-pop pastorals swathed in the dulcet shimmer of Dan Barker's organ fills. Rowell's tenor flutters over, abetted by rich backing harmonies in the tradition of the Byrds, while lightly echoing the sun-kissed cosmic country-folk of Beachwood Sparks and Kingsbury Manx." —CREATIVE LOAFING

"Name-checking famous mythologists & noted archipelagos, there is no lack of intellectual rigor here, but Warm in the Wake know when to ditch the pens and set off a slow-burning Southern pyschpop bonfire that crackles and pops with Eels/Grandaddy/CSNY-inspired goodness long into the night." — AM NEW YORK

"It begins like the opening credits to PBS's Cosmos and then swoops into a groove that's like nothing so much as The Smiths in their fighting prime, full of Johnny Marr worthy peels of electric exclamation and fronted by a singer who knows how to flow....Like My Morning Jacket (a Stateside kindred spirit), they betray very little of their Southern roots, opting instead to soar far and wide, building quivering bodies of lush, compelling sound. Their jangle stew bubbles with enough flutter and wow to keep you putting this one on for months, discovering a fresh thoughtful line, honeyed riff or beatific piano line with each spin." —JAMBASE.COM

FOUR STARS "this is a clever, infectious, and melodious romp from a band that has a lovely but eccentric way with indie guitar pop." — AllMusic.com
