It felt so refreshing to see a band perform that was so absolutely devoid of irony and hipster chic.

This album has been like a breath of fresh air for me, even bringing me close to tears during some of the more haunting passages.

Stevens’ love for crafting beautiful, complex arrangements is still in full effect.

With his humility and subtlety, Stevens gets it right where so much of the “praise and worship” music out there gets it so very wrong so much of the time.
