Catchy piano based pop tunes is the deal in Swift land. This debut album from an American band who sound more like Ben Folds in style, than Coldplay (piano-led) with more of an All Star United vocal. The sound works, there are cool harmonies and soaring guitars removing the potential twee-ness. It is hard to feature a piano so prominently in a band and keep it credible, but this is what The Swift have managed creating a new sound within the CCM industry. Sometimes however, the songs are too predictable and I would prefer more experimentation with ideas. The choruses may be catchy but there is a whole that a couple of album tracks would fit in nicely. Instead we have an album of packed with potential singles, which for some is a great thing, but for me lacks any breathing space.


Sample Track Listing:
1. 'Til I Met You
2. Come On [Listen]
3. Tug Of War
4. More Than Gold
5. He's Making Sunshine
6. Wake Up
7. Moshing Machine
8. Soften Your Heart
9. Almost There
10. Under The Sun
11. Surround Me
