Rewake: Air Bubbles and Bohemian Dream EP

Over the last year or so I’ve been reconnecting with people from Oklahoma. Some who I haven’t talked to much since I left town.

One conversation was with a sweet heart of a girl named Jenn, a friend from Tulsa who was a fan of our band Rewake.

She mentioned she had a copy of our albums ‘Air Bubbles’ and the ‘Bohemian Dream EP’.

(I actually forgot we did the Bohemian Dream EP… what a “blurry” time that was)

I hadn’t listened to either of these much since I moved away. Everytime I tried to, I’d have a very slight panic attack and turn it off. The music sounded fine, but it sent me back to a time and place that was fun, exciting and creative but also dark and depressing as hell.

But this time I listened and that didn’t happen.

I played the entire Air Bubbles album and then the Bohemian Dream EP back to back. I danced around my house by myself, live streaming some of it to my Instagram story. And for the first time ever – I was able to hear our music as a fan and not as a member of the band.

And there’s a big difference.

When you listen to a band you love, you just hear the song and have a great time. But when you listen to a song that you played on, all you hear are the mistakes, the production problems and a word or chord you think should have been different.

I get asked all the time if these albums can be purchased online and unfortunately they never made it to Itunes or Spotify. So I normally just tell people “Nope”.

I had such a great time listening to these two recordings, that I decided to get them digitized and online. This way, when someone asks, I can just send them a link and they can have a good time too.

So if you were around in those days and have been wanting to hear either Air Bubbles or the Bohemian Dream EP again, now you can.

And if you weren’t around for it – you can check it out for the first time.

Just go to http://rewake.com or http://rewake.bandcamp.com.

It’s free. Enjoy.

And if you have time, come back and lemme know what you think.

Thank you very much.

P.S. If you have a digital copy of our first live CD ‘Foreign’ or any of our other live shows, please contact me and I’ll put them online as well. I don’t have a CD player to rip them.
