Awaken I Am – Blind Love CD (Victory)
“Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, the alt-rock band Awaken I Am, have set their sights on breaking down the barriers of what music can and should be. Their new release, Blind Love, is a decisive, emotional response to a life that is filled with anxiety, depression and pain. A sonic masterpiece that is filled with layered, soundscapes from dueling guitarists Ned Jankovic and Connor Oakley and a strong, platform of innovative drums and percussion from Luke McKenzie, that blends perfectly with the intricate, yet powerful vocals of singer Adam Douglas. While categorized as alt-rock, the Aussie quartet reaches deeper than just a single simple genre tag. Awaken I Am has this ability to snatch elements from pop and folk and wrapped up neatly in those alternative roots that creates a lush and complete sound.” – Lemonade Magazine
