Year Of Release: 2014.
I am so looking forwards to review another incredible album and this CD is recorded by the lead singer from one of the most unconventional and experimental worship bands of all time, the David Crowder Band. They totally changed the face of Worship Music and they brought so much freshness into the Church and it is about time they did. The David Crowder Band's music consists of Electronica, Folk, Dance and Progressive Rock and that brought a lot of diversity into the church.
If you are getting bored with the mediocrity in the Praise and Worship scene that has become so overloaded with cliche's and has become quite samey, you are in for a massive surprise when you hear the David Crowder Band. They are exciting, creative, full of life and extremely awesome and they will encourage you to see church music differently and in a more positive light.
Now I am reviewing Crowder's new and first solo album Neon Steeple and it is a very incredible album. If you combine Folk Music with elements of Electronica, you get Folktronica and that is what Neon Steeple sounds like. Songs like ''My Beloved'', ''Come Alive'' and ''Hands Of Love'' will pump up your exuberance level and will excite you big time. ''I Am'' is such a fantastic worship song that will get your hands lifted up in praise to God and it will inspire you to hold on to God whilst you're in the middle of the storm, that is when you are going through hard times. ''Lift Your Head Weary Sinners (Chains) has a country/folk feel and it contains elements of handclapping in the background.
''Ain't No Grave'' is quite upbeat and it gets even better as you listen to it and it bursts into celebration in the 2nd half of the song. ''You Are'' is such a highly explosive Folktronica song so you better get your dancing shoes on. The song bursts into life big time and it is bound to cause a praise explosion and a non stop praise illumination. ''You Are'' will give you a taster glimpse of what the music is going to be like in Heaven. This album also contains some mellow laid back songs that brings some balance to this incredible album. ''Here's My Heart'' starts off mellow and it bursts into life in the 2nd half of the song. It will grow on you the more you listen to it.
I hope and pray that there will be some new music shops run by Christians who promote positive entertainment and that brings a lot more diversity so that more and more people will be reached.
I am longing to see a brand new record shop that sells a lot of CD's that promote moral Christian values and that has a heart for reaching more people for Jesus. I am deeply concerned about the Christian Bookshops not selling anywhere near enough new albums and a lot of young children and teenagers are not entering the Christian Bookshops. It seems to me that only grown ups and elderly people enter the Christian Bookshops and it concerns me to such an extent. Christians, We need to wake up to the fact that a lot of youngsters are moving well away from the faith and a lot of people have become so apathetic and indifferent and it angers me. I would like to encourage you to pray for some new music shops to be built and for some new radio stations that promote a lot of diversity in positive entertainment, and that the Pubs, Clubs, Arcades and Amusement Parks will be taken back for God's glory. May God Bless You.
As I almost conclude this review, I would like to recommend some fantastic Worship Bands that are well worth a listen and they will appeal more to young people.
