“Wake Up Captain” is the third album by Chicagoan Kevin Tihista. Kevin has played with Triple Fast Action and Guided By Voices' Tobin Sprout, but it's when Kevin is at the helm, in front of the microphone with his guitar and his very own songs, that he shines the brightest. On "Wake Up Captain" Kevin once again reunites with producer Ellis Clark (Epicycle, June & The Exit Wounds, Chamber Strings, Nikki Sudden) and delivers his most stirring album to date. Balancing clever insights, extreme wit, and tender frailty into a cinematic - nearly visual - song cycle that mines themes of the paralyzing insecurity and the boundless safety found in love and life. The duality of strength and weakness, sentimentality and sarcasm are presented with honest, intimate realism, a sense of humor, and gorgeous vocals echoing myriad influences. Standard Jewel Case.
