Built around the creativity of husband and wife team Joe and Cat Albanese whose previous bands 4 Living Creatures and Elder have worked away at the circuit for sometime now. Their mix of punk and rock influences could see the band pitched into a New Wave categorisation. Somehow they manage to make music that is more interesting than that drawing on occasional world music influences to make music that is a million miles away from the CCM pumped out by Nashville. "Forgetful Seas" has Middle Eastern flavours whilst "Dwell" and "A Toast" are a little more straight forward rock. The band have managed to suck passion into every song and their faith is expressed in creative cliché free lyrics that will connect with all kinds of audiences. Musically this is artful rock music that unusually is difficult to place comfortably into a box. The band are to be congratulated for that!

I love this band. Of course I've loved everything Joe and Cat have done, especially the second Elder album.
