Release Notes:

Warm In The Wake envelop the listener in waves of
music. Their debut EP Gold Dust Trail with tracks
produced by Adam Lasus (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Yo
La Tengo, Helium) is a fine mix of verses and audio
flashcards, character sketches, rough-hewn acoustic
ballads, and bent rhymes. The Wilco-esque intro of
"Tame Thoughts" is immediately familiar, yet
unquestionably the band's own and as it segues into
the feel-good Southern swing of "Hearts vs. Heads"
you know you've found a unique disc. If Neil Young
and the Shins had a party on a riverbank with The
Band, Warm In The Wake would stoke their bonfire.

The band was raised in Alabama but now make their
home and music in Atlanta, GA. Playing together on
and off since they were teenagers, Christopher
Rowell (vocals, guitar, bass) and James Taylor Jr.
(drums) come from a rich musical past in Birmingham,
AL. Rowell performed and recorded with Regia and
members of Verbena and Taylor played with future
members of The Drive By Truckers. Brothers Daniel
Barker (keyboards) and Andy Barker (bass) hail from
Ft. Payne, AL (also home to country's ALABAMA) and
have shared stages with Kings of Leon and Willie
Nelson (in 1998 Andy recorded a previously
unreleased song penned by Willie himself).

In 1997 Chris Rowell moved to Atlanta and became a
founding member of King Lear Jet. Later joined by
Taylor and Barker, KLJ released an E.P. and an album
and enjoyed a modicum of success with songs licensed
to several Fox TV shows (Felicity, Dawson's Creek) a
couple of PBS shows and the independent film
Tadpole. However, the music took the boys in another
direction - one that convinced them to pursue their
new incarnation as Warm In The Wake.
