Electronic yet emotional, digital yet honest and human, his music is an invitation to lose oneself in reverie. "I fell in love with music and became that quintessential bedroom recluse listening to tapes and LPs over and over again," Wade explains. "I wanted to make music for people like me, so I've tried to create things that are open ended and allow people to think for themselves and daydream to."

A native of Austin, Texas, Wade now resides in San Francisco where he collaborates with a community of like-minded musicians such as virtuoso guitarist and key player Erik Cline, and guitarist Paul Martin. Together the three perform under the name Echolalia.

Wade is a studio production whiz and multi-instrumentalist who plays guitar, keys, bass, and a wide array of electronic instruments. His long list of influences range from Spiritualized to The Flaming Lips, and underground artists such as Fourtet, Bedhead, and Marumari.

His debut CD is being embraced by college radio, the underground press, and fans who long for music with a subtlety and depth often lacking in both mainstream and indie music.

Although the CD's title hints at a political message or philosophical statement, Wade is characteristically understated on the subject. "I'm not really sure what the world is all about, but I'm willing to accept that and just try to be good to folks and create music that they might like."

Whether it is something spiritual, political, or simply human emotion you seek, the best way to learn the truth about Wade Williamson is to put on his CD, close your eyes, and enjoy.
