The lo-fi, rock/folk sound is an aesthetic that comes to The Wake Singers out of necessity. "We don't have a lot of resources at our disposal [so] we make do with what we got" says the trio of cousins, Doug, Mike and Marty Two Bulls (Oglala Lakota), originally from Red Shirt Table, South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. They formed the band while attending art school in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and they sent us a few tracks to check out. They make not be working with much, but we think what they've got is a good thing.
