5. Clocks

6. Making Tracks

Awake At 4am have released their second album titled "Cosmic EP." This album is one that really shows off that indie funk feel the band has been going for since their last album. This one is a continuation and expands their sound. They have a similar sound to band that play in the older clubs and less mainstream places. They have done alight here. The instrumentation on this album is really quite standard. The band can play, but there isn't anything thats going to really catch you or make you turn your head, just solid playing. Not onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are really nice and clear. You can hear just exactly what the singer is saying, albeit, there isn't really one thing we can say is different or haven't heard before. This seems to be lacking that it factor that automatically says it's "this" band. With the lyrics, the band seems to go for songs about love, relationships and interactions with two people. This seems to be what a lot of artists go toward when writing songs. All in all, this is pretty standard. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song besides Turbulence, as that is an intro song, and you will get the feel of the album. Awake At 4am have released an album that expands on their sound and gives them more to pull from in a live setting. We feel that this is alright and looking to see whats next. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

5. Wait, I Can't Fly

Awake At 4am have released their debut album which is self titled. This album is one that has a little bit of a strange feel to it. They have long instrumental intros to their songs and have a pretty indie/folk feel to them. This band has a similar feel to that of a Broken Social Scene or a Great Lake Swimmers so if you like those bands, you could like this album. They have done an alright job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to an alright standard. The instrumentation is pretty good and the sounds are all over the place here. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on the album are pretty good and the singer can sing. There are not a whole lot of lyrics that go along with this music, but what we do hear, seems to be quite well structured and have a good meaning behind them. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Awake At 4am have made a debut sort of welcome to album that is sort of puzzling as the lyrics are not quite what you would like, but the music sounds decent. Maybe with the next one they can wrap those together nicely. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
