We Say...
American Prehistoric has all the makings of a classic: The album was mastered at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London, the music is based around a loose concept that likens America to the Roman Empire and, perhaps most important, it's a huge leap from the relatively stolid country-fried rock of their debut EP. Indeed, American Prehistoric reaches the stars with the widescreen psychedelia of tracks like "Galapagos (Reelin' Reprise)" and "Pawn Shop Heart," but also keeps its feet on the ground with carefully strummed tales of dark gypsy moths, antique knives and Joseph Campbell. Make no mistake, this one is not to be mythed.

They Say...
If Warm in the Wake evoke anything, it's the heyday of the late-'80s college rock/Dixie underground, when numerous groups from the American Southeast turned to bright soundcraft, pretty harmonies, and guitar jangle. All of which is not to say that the band sounds dated. Quite the contrary: Warm in the Wake's delightful, folky space pop is moving in its own whimsically beautiful way. One can also detect traces of clever pop predecessors such as XTC, Robyn Hitchcock, and Green Pajamas here. There's both a pop levity and a complexity that define the Georgia band's music on American Prehistoric. The title track is bounding electric pop, while "She'd Never Seen" has a more earnest drive and a sweet chorus hook that you could hang a hat on. "Reservoir" is heavy on the guitar jangle and chime and comes at the listener at odd angles, providing some ominous pop-psychedelia undertow to the proceedings. All in all, this is a clever, infectious, and melodious romp from a band that has a lovely but eccentric way with indie guitar pop.
