A wild concoction of delicious experimental sounds with a real sunny influence throughout. Excellent first track with instant beat impact, you've just gotta move. A gutsy basic sound, with yummy earthy rhythms that had me in raptures with its slight folksy flavour. The lyrics made me think of a kite because although I trust the band initiated all the ideas from a Christian perspective and there is a thread of truth prevalent, the words are floating in vague abstracts, so it's not easy to trace them back to the biblical roots. Excellent choice though, for the searching, enquiring mind, plenty of concepts and paraphrases to mull over. What amazed me was the diversity in style which certainly keeps the interest alive and is versatile enough to grab most tastes. I get a sense of creative exploration from the band with the fresh mix/match patchwork of sounds. The Christian theme becomes progressively more evident culminating in the zippiest rendition of "As The Deer" I've heard so far!
