Bifrost Arts from New Jersey have an unusual approach to worship music and I love 'Lamentations'' natural feel. I really like the intro to "Rise Up" but my favourite track is "Break Us" with the words reflecting a real desperation to have God impact people's lives. There are some great harmonies here making it a really moving song. "Come Light" is another one of the tracks that I really engaged with, again having a wistful simplicity but this time with a Celtic feel. For anyone who likes a laid back album with lyrics that include the Gospel, justice and hope all conveyed with a relaxed, ambient feel, this is a 2016 project you may well want to search out.
