Waking Things

Waking Things is a Seattle area rock group that sprung as a conceptual fever dream from the mind of singer/songwriter <a href="spotify:artist:0l4YizFSw5PuxLbQWAvXdq" data-name="Chris Sicard">Chris Sicard</a>, pulling inspiration from the rock resurgence of the early 2010s and groups like Manchester Orchestra.

Waking Things only persisted due to the hard work and creativity of it&#39;s members, consisting of highly technical and progressive drummer Matt Chadwick and demure, yet angular bassist Brian Ray, Waking Things would go on to release their 2016 album <a href="spotify:album:3yxuWFunNUSheFDMJJg4CI" data-name="Details">Details</a>, full of nervous energy in singles like <a href="spotify:track:6oMAtFIPDKwd6jaulMhhpR" data-name="Pretend">Pretend</a> and <a href="spotify:track:6FiMpSRJDB0JiVWDGLYD7j" data-name="My Ghost Friends">My Ghost Friends</a>. And in 2018, along with new co-vocalist Samantha Aiello, whose smoky, blues-laden voice cemented the band’s direction, the band released <a href="spotify:album:1InSISNMzRpCTTEmtdDOer" data-name="Hang in There">Hang in There</a>. Combining Sicard’s trademark melodramatic musings with Aiello’s command of vocal harmonies, most notably on the single <a href="spotify:track:4ZO004RMf3PodOwISejDuf" data-name="That Rotting Feeling">That Rotting Feeling</a>.

And now, the group has released their long awaited 4th album, <a href="spotify:album:2aFHWXmQMSwN3LRVOVAWgc" data-name="Therapy">Therapy</a>. A collection of songs that asks the question, &#34;Now that it&#39;s over, what do I do?&#34;

While challenges and changes have altered their path, Waking Things is committed to continue making music that resonates with the broke-hearted and those that feel adrift in a sea of digital isolation.
