Already building themselves a place on national CCM consciousness, the Florida-based worship band here offer 12 songs, although several previously had an airing on 'The Being Human Project'. Easing the album in slowly, it isn't too long until the six-piece from Orlando break out the big toys. "Heartbeat", while having gentle moments, demonstrates some heavy hitting from drummer Kenny, turning the tempo up as we move into "Love Has Found Us", showing off proper guitar riffing and piano proficiency. However, for me the highlight is certainly the band's first single "Taste Of Eternity" with a catchy melody in the chorus and which builds into an epic anthem with hordes of backing vocals and a ton of emotion. Chief songwriter Sean Curran's lead vocals throughout the disc are inspiringly tender and passionate, particularly when harmonised with Melissa, although I'm not keen on the squeaky monologue in "Tendons (The Release)". But overall this is a stimulating debut album from a truly innovative band.
