It’s a brilliant listen and I am so grateful for it. Everyone should listen.

 

Saving this for later. Looking forward to it.

 

This is wonderful, man!

I definitely get hints of Aaron Sprinkle with your vocals and instrumentation at times.

 

My current rotation is just listening to Benjamin Daniel and My Epic over and over. And the highest praise I have currently is that my favourite (for now) is yours @Lucas27.

 

can't believe there's a new My Epic album in the year 2024

 

This is fantastic! Some great John Van Deusen vibes

 

Crazy! I just saw the My Epic guys Friday night. If I had this information I'd have lorded it over them. Haha.

Thanks so much though man. This means a whole lot!

 

Thank you guys! Wonderful comparisons!

 

im in that one!

 

I’m seeing Lauren Daigle with my wife on Monday. She’s playing two UK dates. Not my usual vibe but I do like her voice!

 

Saw Jason Dunn, the original vocalist of Hawk Nelson play the first album in full last night acoustic it was great. For his encore he played 2 songs off Smile and a new song that would be a Hawk Nelson song but he cant use the name anymore.

 

New anadivine?

 

For the record, Lauren Daigle was incredible. Her band was so good - trumpet and trombone duo made the evening for me, alongside her stellar voice.

 

I must once again say Lauren Daigle’s album last year is the most I’ve liked a “Christian album” in years. Just so joyful and simple and sincere.

She came through Pittsburgh at I think the beginning of the year, and I lost track of time and didn’t go, lol. Alas.

 

Yes there is a joyful simplicity to it. The full version is a bit long. The songs were really good in a live setting - she carried that joyful simplicity into from record to live.

 

The better “album” is definitely the initial 10-track version, ending with perfect closer “These are the Days.” (Though the full version’s closer is still satisfying.) I wonder how the second half would’ve felt if it’d been a separate “Lauren Daigle, Part 2” album, instead of the whole thing feeling like Taylor Swift bonus tracks, lol. Or if the extended version hadn’t kept the first version’s songs grouped together (especially since there are three interludes, all in the second half, without one bridging the halves).

All those critiques aside, lol, the whole thing does have a lot of good-to-great material. The highs of the back half are still among the album’s highs to me, like “Turbulent Skies” and “Be Okay.”

 

HTD

new album in 2025 &
Dreamer/Coward vinyl

 

Any indication of which line up?

 

Wolf king

 

I saw Josh Garrels this evening in Manchester. It was a kind of ‘pinch me’ moment - another example of seeing an artist I never would have expected to play in the UK. Incredible voice and absolutely flawless performance. I really enjoyed it.

 

Any Gable Price & Friends fans in here? Really enjoying the new EP

 

I enjoyed their first album but haven’t kept up with anything that followed. Any variation and/or development from that?

 

After their first album (which I think is still their best work), they did an EP called "If I'm Being Honest" which is solid.
The next LP "Consequence of Being Alive" is ok...definitely a step back though. This new EP is a return to form in my opinion.

 

I'm on a big House of Heroes kick right now. This band deserved so much more success than they got.

 

They’re probably my “best band that no one knows about” band. Absolutely incredible.
