“Horses” - Joseph Arthur live at Lincoln Hall
Another song that’s been on my mind lately off of the Graduation Ceremony album, this version from an amazing concert I attended last November here in Chicago.

“This Is Not The End” – Gungor
Today more than any other is a day to remember that hope is alive and redemption & restoration have been made available by the awesome power of perfect love. Happy Easter.

“Travel As Equals” – Joseph Arthur
In January Joseph Arthur released a new double album, Redemption City, for free on his website. In the ensuing months it’s been steadily growing on me with its wonderfully atmospheric and evocative vision of life, love, faith and, of course, redemption. Download the album free of charge here.

New music from The Welcome Wagon!
“From Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices, out on Asthmatic Kitty Records June 12, 2012.

Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices, The Welcome Wagon’s second full-length, is an apt sequel to their critically acclaimed 2008 debut, Welcome to the Welcome Wagon. Here, Vito and Monique simply throw those welcoming arms open wider, inviting the listener to join them for 51 minutes of church.
Those who enjoyed the Welcome Wagon’s debut album will notice their distinct sound again here – loose, jangly, comfortable, a gathering of friends making music together. It’s at times jaunty and toe-tapping, at others quietly contemplative, an alt-folk gem that sounds very much like it comes out of the Asthmatic Kitty camp. But while the first album was recorded over the course of eight years in various venues, this one was done in five days at the library of an old rectory in Brooklyn. And while recording artist and AK co-owner Sufjan Stevens produced WW’s first album, he’s less noticeable on this collection, produced by Alexander Foote, who also plays guitars, organ, autoharp, percussion, and some piano. (Stevens does play banjo and piano and sings in the choir on several songs here.)
Vito says his songwriting is informed by his work as senior pastor at Resurrection Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood. “A pastor is supposed to care for people, to help them to love God, to engage with their lives and their joys and their sorrows,” he says. “I’m only interested in writing music that will speak to that. I’m writing as a pastor, wanting these songs to speak God’s truth into those situations.”
Precious Remedies for everyone.”

“All Alright” – fun.
I still miss The Format, but Nate Ruess is doing pretty well for himself these days. fun.’s new record Some Nights is officially out today and it may be even better than its predecessor (depending on your feelings about autotune). This track is an early favorite.

I keep stalling out
I just can’t keep up
There’s alarming doubt
Am I good enough?
But You keep coming around
To convince me
It’s still far from over
I just can’t keep up
There’s alarming doubt
Am I good enough?
But You keep coming around
To convince me
It’s still far from over
