Bio

Steeped in Spaghetti Westerns and Kurosawa flicks, Slow To Wake conjure images of grainy 60s film through the use of instrumental rock, other-worldly jazz & ambient soundscapes. They shamelessly juxtapose lush strings & digital electronics to provide a modern soundtrack to pristine beauty & urban decay, as well as pristine decay and urban beauty. The band was formed in 2005 with the basic concept being to combine elements that usually seem to be at odds with each other: organic and digital, acoustic and electronic, soothing and harsh, light and dark. The result is a cinematic style of music that comprises many eclectic styles and song forms.

Current members are: EJ Fry, Shane Rettig, Topu Lyo, Skye Steele,
