Release Notes:

Wavorly drew its first creative breath as a pop punk assemblage of college
students from Tupelo, Mississippi called Freshmen 15. It wasnÆt long, though,
before vocalist Dave Stovall and bassist Matt Lott caught a grander vision for
what their music and purpose could be. A few years of growth and evolution, some
line-up changes and a couple hundred shows later, Wavorly bursts onto the
national scene with their Flicker Records debut, Conquering The Fear of Flight,
a sprawling modern rock masterpiece that blends elements of alternative, classic
progressive rock, indie-rock and hard rock with highly literate lyrics, a boldly
imaginative use of strings and a sublime sense of melody. In the league of other
genre-stretching acts like Muse, My Chemical Romance, Mae and Switchfoot,
Wavorly rocks with heart and mind intact.

Though the friends all entered school as fans of pop punk bands like Blink 182
and Relient K, their musical influences diversified significantly by the time
they came out the other side. ôI went in more of a rock/hardcore direction at
one point,ö Lott explains. ôThen Dave was getting more into atmospheric pop
artists like Coldplay.ö The guys connected with guitarist Seth Farmer who was a
long-time metalhead and drummer Jaime Hayes, a devotee of ôcrazy progressive
music like Dream Theatre,ö according to Lott. When they realized their road
manager Ryan Coon, a big fan of Muse, could play keyboards he was drafted as
well.

Stovall, the product of a heavily music-oriented family, started as an avid
drummer at the age of five, before adding guitar skills in high school and
chorus and piano in college. He majored in Music Education with an emphasis in
percussion before embracing piano as his main instrument. ôBecause of majoring
in music education,ö Stovall says, ôI took a lot of Music Theory and listened to
a lot of classical music, and it definitely influenced my writing.ö

Lott, who was literally taught bass by Stovall, serves as the primary lyricist
for the band and as a multi-subject substitute teacher when he is home. ôI like
to make the lyrics easy to understand at first glance,ö he admits. ôBut then if
you read through them and listen to the whole song, I like the listener to
figure out; æWait, I think heÆs saying something deeper here.ö

WavorlyÆs uniqueness settles across the listener with the first strains of their
Rob Graves (RED) produced debut. Intricately arranged and immediately accessible
strings and classical piano establish a darkly elegant waltz as the introduction
to the album, before devolving into a pounding wall of guitars and drums.
StovallÆs powerful vocals ride across the top of the churning, but consistently
tuneful brew as he delivers lyrical images heavily colored by author and teacher
C.S. Lewis. In fact, LewisÆ classic novel The Great Divorce, served as an
influence on several of the discÆs songs, while his sense of imagination and
heart deeply shaped the melodic and stylistic inspiration behind the band in
general.

Lott enthusiastically admits to the overarching influence the Cambridge Master
had on the band and on this album. ôTwo of the songs are specifically based on
The Great Divorce,ö he explains. ôThey describe the main character in this
classic and the choice he is faced with to stay in hell or go to heaven.ö The
driving rocker ôEndless Dayö directly quotes the book with the line ôa thin line
of emerald green stretched tight as a fiddle-string.ö Lott continues, ôItÆs
about heaven being this amazing wide open place,ö Lott shares. ôBut the song
æPart OneÆ puts off a dismal, confused feeling representing his option to stay
in hell.ö

LewisÆ words were also specifically influential on the discÆs opening cut
ôMadmen,ö but his sense of imagination and scope even influenced the
arrangements, melodies and overall style of the disc. Stovall is also their
resident Lewis aficionado. ôI drew a lot of inspiration from my emotional
response to his books,ö he explains. ôAs a result, we found this rock /
alternative sound with a sense of mystery and deep meaning.ö

ôPraise and Adore,ö the soaring and instantly memorable lead single is not a
worship song in the classic understanding of the term. ôWhen I sat down to write
it,ö Stovall recalls, ôI had no agenda. I wasnÆt trying to write a song with the
meaning it has. I was really just trying to write a song from my heart to God.
From the title æPraise and AdoreÆ and the way itÆs structured, it sounds like a
praise song; however, the main point is not about praising God. ItÆs about how
people can go their whole lives without ever knowing true life and having an
abundance of it.ö Lott continues, "It was originally titled 'Some Live Without
it,'" he adds. ôSometimes we don't realize that a lot of people exist outside of
that bubble in a real world of hurt and despair. We should be thankful and
praise God that we have the opportunity to live our lives with the hope that He
has given us and strive to help others see that hope."

Whether referring to the cascading melodies, the complex musicality, the
artfully beautiful lyrics or the thematic orchestration, Wavorly is a richly
layered musical experience that has both immediate ôWowö factor and long-term
staying power. But as rich as the bandÆs creative vision is, their heart is
buried deep into the belief that music can have a positive and life-changing
effect on peopleÆs lives in ways that really matter.
