Considering the bushel loads of American Christian pop rock albums that have flooded the Cross Rhythms radio studios that don't make it onto the playlist, for this one from a band still unknown in the UK to come up with two turntable hits ("Give Yourself Away", the choppy rhythmed account of a no-holds-barred witnessing session to a blaspheming acquaintance; and "NYC (I'm Sorry)", a retro ballad about a relationship-gone-bad: "Regret the things I told/l wish I could show you what my selfish heart denied"), you can be pretty confident this is worth investigating. With some of the tracks recorded in stripped down, minimalist form those won't be to everybody's taste, but Wade Myers is an arresting lead singer, at times sounding uncannily like Split Level's Adrian Thompson, while the production by Ken Mary is good and crisp. A team of talented Californians with the talent to stand out from the crowd.
