“Wake Up Slow” by Atlas Lab – A Song Review

     Within a genre they identify as Indie Psych Soul, Atlas Lab releases the EP “Wake Up Slow.” The release date is January 22. The title track is a keeper, and we look forward to hearing more from the EP.
     The song “Wake Up Slow” features a cleanly and crisply played acoustic guitar hook, which is enough of an attraction by itself. But it isn’t alone. The female vocals enter and are soon joined in harmony by male vocals. Even later, the percussion plays a prominent role without interfering with the non-percussive elements of “Wake Up Slow.”

Lyrics of “Wake Up Slow”
Wake up slow
Roll around on the covers
With the light coming in through the blinds
The world is made to your design
Wake up slow, you’ll be fine

In the morning time, you came along
With your silver eyes and your silver song
You sang it soft, you sang it sweet
You woke me from a dream I had for weeks
Wake up slow, you’ll be fine

In the morning time, you drifted out
With your business eyes and your coffee mouth
You saw the sun, you saw the sky
You turned around and went right back inside
Wake up slow, you’ll be fine
Wake up slow, take your time

Well you wanted love, here’s what you asked for
Well you wanted love, here’s your passport

Wake up slow (Wake up slow), you’ll be fine
Wake up slow (Wake up slow), take your time
Wake up slow (Wake up slow), you’ll be fine
Wake up slow (Wake up slow), take your time
