Wait. Think. Fast. release the first single of their summer series, titled "Chorus of Trees"
Review by Austin Sher
Following up their 2017 full length album, Dale Tiempo, Wait. Think. Fast. are back with their fantastic new single, titled “Chorus of Trees”. Read along for an in depth review of what we thought of the song, as well as a bit of background into the history of the band.
Producers and songwriters, Matthew Beighley and Jacqueline Santillan, are the creative minds behind Wait. Think. Fast., who are also joined by Tom King on drums. “Chorus of Trees” is the first single in a series of new singles that are set to be released over the course of Summer 2020, and let’s just say we’re extremely excited to see what else the band is cooking up over the course of the next couple months. If the magic of this single is to be found in the upcoming releases, we truly think that the next full length album or EP will be a huge success.
Described by the band as “a commentary on entitlement and the destruction of our forests, lamenting the disconnect between our humanity and the natural world.” We found it to be a dreamy, driving, and atmospheric rocker with an artistic take on entitlement. In a world that directly focuses on entitlement and waste, it’s a sore subject that needs to be addressed head on. Creating music that could directly impact the direction of our climate is a step in the right direction. Comparing their take on it to what we thought, we’d say it’s spot on.
In addition to the single, there’s also an incredible music video that was produced by Beighley and Santillan during the pandemic lockdown. They asked close friends to submit 20 second mobile phone videos of their lockdown realities and edited them with a very personal performance by Santillan at home. “It’s a moment of interconnectedness in troubling times.”, says Wait. Think. Fast. They received shots from all over the world, from Germany to Guatemala. It includes some people living alone with no human contact for weeks, others with small children living in their homes. It’s definitely worth a watch, we’ll provide the viewing link at the bottom of the article so you can watch and enjoy!
All in all, we really enjoyed what we heard, and are anticipating the rest of the band’s singles (releasing this summer) to be equally as catchy. At this point, we expect no less! We’re instant fans and can’t wait to follow Wait. Think. Fast. closely as their career continues to blossom into something special!
