Castellana

about

"Wake Up Slow" is the opening track off Atlas Lab's official debut. The band made a conscious decision to release an "all new" song for their fans who had enjoyed their previous effort which was a three track demo. Atlas Lab opted to keep 3 song off of their demo and have them appear revamped on "Wake Up Slow." One thing I can say about "Wake Up Slow." It's been a long time coming and I personally have been patiently awaiting the release of this EP. There are no "Rock Stars" or ego driven personalities within Atlas Lab. They are a band in every sense of the word. More and more in the present day it seems the "idea" of actually having a band with 3-5 members or more is becoming few and far between. I love the classic organic sense of song development that is heard throughout "Wake Up Slow." It's as though you can tell each and every one of these songs started with nothing more than a little guitar riff or a bass groove; springing in to an ocean of dark lite all nite diners, where the silence has set in and the band with it's gear has long packed up and headed towards their next tour stop. Yet the reflector re appears and throbs as a winded panther. The relentless throb of "Wake Up Slow" is very apparent, however for Atlas Lab's lead singer Solei; outliving the shadow of her massively successful debut with Goldbloc is an increasingly difficult task.https://crlsscllctive.bandcamp.com/album/goldbloc-black-gold
She manages to be the strongest instrument on every song on "Wake Up Slow." Her voice making you feel so at home, yet so alone. The kind of girl that could tell you she's going to kill you and you still hold her hand. Atlas Lab rides a fine line of the classic bar band MO with the classic rock instrumentation: guitar, drums, bass. When I think about it there are so many great vocalists out there that just simply need the right band to be paired up with. This is a storybook memo. Bold as it may seem to say; Solei is the reason you'll listen to Atlas Lab's Wake Up Slow." Fact. Her instrument is as profound as the song itself and cuts through every chance it has. "Wake Up Slow" I admit, doesn't have the instant pop success appeal that Goldbloc had. One thing it is chalk full of; SOUL and hope. Feeling it your veins as you remember who you were before you became who you are.

lyrics

I feel like
a crooked child
it's been too long
since running wild
my voice like
some weight unseen
some sorry thread running
running down my seam

castellana, this is not my mother tongue
i been running
somewhere far beyond the sun
castellana, like a vision in my room
how you came through
you break into my gloom
castellana, this is not my mother tongue,
i been running now for you
somewhere, far beyond the sun
castellana, i will stay with you until
something better
something better


I feel like
a crooked child
it's been too long
since running wild
my voice like
some weight unseen
some sorry thread running
running down my seam

castellana
this is not where i am from
make me feel like
wonder how i got so numb
castellana, days past longer than they should
i would keep you from it
keep you if i could
castellana this is not my mother tongue
i been runnin runnin
somewhere, far beyond the sun
castellana will you follow me until
something better,
something better

I feel like
a crooked child
it's been too long
since running wild
my voice like
some weight unseen
some sorry thread running
running down my seam

runnin down my seam, runnin down my seam

I feel like
a crooked child
it's been too long
since running wild
my voice like
some weight unseen
some sorry thread running
running down my seam
