If, like me, you've only recently caught up with the remarkable Swedish singer David Ahlen, and you can't wait for his new album scheduled for September release, you may want to investigate this free download EP issued in 2014. David's haunting, high, high voice with minimalist accompaniment is beautiful and his readings of evergreens like "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" and "Holy Holy Holy" have the same atmosphere of adoration and worshipful transcendence which seemingly permeates all of David's work. Even the crudely recorded "Rock Of Ages" sung a cappella in what sounds like a windy field works for me.
