ALBUM HITS TOP 5 TODAY ON THE iTUNES CHART AND
TOP 10 ON THE AMAZON BESTSELLER’S CHART
BAND IS TOP 10 TOPIC ON TWITTER TODAY
In USA Today’s Fall music preview, CHURCH MUSIC–out today (September 22) via sixstepsrecords/Sparrow Records–was hailed as “…progressive electronic rock influenced by Radiohead, Linkin Park, Sigur Ros and others” (9/18/09). The buzz is building as CHURCH MUSIC hits the Top 5 on the iTunes Album chart and Top 10 on the Amazon MP3 Album chart today. The band is trending as a Top 10 topic on Twitter today as well.
The 17 compelling tracks on CHURCH MUSIC–the follow-up to 2007’s Remedy–may not be what you expect sonically when you think of one of Christian music’s leading bands. The album even includes a unique cover of hard rock act Flyleaf’s hit “All Around Me,” and features Flyleaf lead singer Lacey Mosely and the Dupree sisters from Eisley singing background vocals on various tracks.
The six-piece, known for their mix of ambient and infectious electro-rock, kicked off their nationwide tour with a sold-out show last night in their hometown of Waco, TX. On Thursday, September 24 they’ll hit the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles for a sold-out show before jumping back on the road in October for intimate shows across the U.S. On November 13, they’ll headline Terminal 5 in New York City.
Watch the exuberantly brilliant video the band made while signing thousands of pre-ordered vinyl records, featuring album track “Oh Happiness”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBczEYmON5s.
