368 days ago, I swallowed hard and launched a Kickstarter to fund my first-ever full-length, full-band album, There Will Be Surprises. 30 days, 289 backers, and $24k later, I was given the enormous gift of taking ten songs into the studio with some of my dearest friends and collaborators—recording take after take, listening and re-listening, chipping away over several months until we had found each song’s final form.
Just had the chance to listen yesterday. There's a lyrical depth that picks up right where Desolation/Consolation left off, and pushes even deeper. I've had the singles (Whatever Comes Next, There Will Be Surprises, New Wine, and Hidden) on regular rotation for the past few months. But hearing them within the context of the full album revealed new layers. When I got to the line "But I saw a Human One ascending" on my first full-album listen, I felt like I was going to start ascending too :) The new songs are such a treat as well, and the production is (no surprise) killer.
Congratulations, Drew!! So excited to see this wonderful project, labored and loved into existence, come full term and be presented to the world!
We are richer for it!!
Hear hear!!
