Drenched in coastal haze, Still Waking Up
pulsates
with an urgent thunderous drive.
The sophomore full-length from Rain Over St.
Ambrose reverberates with anthemic sing-alongs,
swampy fuzzed-out riff rock, and swirling synths.
From the buzzsaw guitars of "29 Takes," to the
falsetto backups on the hook-heavy "Petty Thief,"
to the stoner-infused breaks on "Broken Love" and
"Death of a Salesman," the album is enormous in
tone and uninhibited in its approach. Raw,
contemplative, and feverish, Still Waking Up once
again showcases the band's commitment to "honest,
from-the-gut rock and roll" (The Chronicle
Herald).
Produced by Tim D'Eon
(Wintersleep) and recorded by Diego Medina at the
Old Confidence Lodge in Riverport, NS, the album
was mixed at the Castle of Doom in Scotland by
Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Belle and Sebastien, Hey
Rosetta!) and mastered at Sterling Audio in New
York by Greg Calbi (War on Drugs, St. Vincent,
Paul Simon).
