Watch: WAIT.THINK.FAST 'Trouble' demo - live performance
Wait Think Fast is one of the current standouts in a burgeoning scene of ethnically and musically diverse Los Angeles-based bands... the quartet adds distinct flavor to its atmospheric, post-punk sound by using both Spanish and English for its bilingual lyrics... Haunting, tightly crafted, with thoughtful lyrics.. easily transcends any language barrier.

"...Echo Park quartet Wait. Think. Fast. more than make up for their punctuational demands with generous melody and attentive songcraft. The songs are solid without being rigid, and pretty without being cloying. My fave is the breezy, LA-atmospheric "Cien Fuegos," on which vocalist/keyboardist Santillan floats seductive Spanish over a Beach Boys/Radiohead/Elliott Smith vibe. ..."

“Vuelve al Mar” (Origami) – How do you say “dreamy” in Spanish? This intoxicating bit of shimmering shadow-pop serves its metaphysical themes well. singer-keyboardist Jacqueline Santillan narrates plaintively as holy water turns black, frogs come out at midnight, souls return to the sea and bad luck stalks he who makes bad decisions. And that’s just in one song. A couple spins of this disc, produced by Matthew Beighley (the band’s guitarist-bassist), and you won’t even notice that it’s bilungual and you’re not.
