Music reviews of Spring and Summer
Music Review: Sounds like Derek Webb and Sufjan Stevens (in a great way)
Rating: 5 Stars
This is an amazing album. In 12 songs I heard glimpses of so much of what is right with Christian music today - the lyricism of Derek Webb, the soul of Jon Foreman, and the unique arrangements of Chris Rice and Sufjan Stevens.
March (A Prelude to Spring): This is a catchy, upbeat ditty that sounds similar to Questions for Heaven by Chris Rice.
Love Isn't Made: Sounds like Switchfoot here. No complaints, but not the most original sounding or catchiest track.
In My Arms: More Foreman/Rice/Sufjan mixup here, still a very good song.
Baptize My Mind: Sufjan. Period. The intro riff, complete with the vocal line, everything is reminiscent of Sufjan. That said, it's my favorite track on the first disc.
Your Love Is Strong: Closest to a Switchfoot sound on this disc, a beautiful modernized version of the Lord's Prayer.
Revenge: Not much to say, great lyrics.
A Mirror Is Harder To Hold: Great lyrics again, catchy chorus. Again, this sounds like the bluesy songwriting of Chris Rice or Derek Webb.
Resurrect Me: The opening riff sounds like Switchfoot's Dirty Second Hands combined with Easier Than Love. This as close to Switchfoot sound (from their last two albums) as Foreman gets.
Deep In Your Eyes: Nifty Coldplay style piano with bare voice.
Instead of a Show: When I first heard this I thought it was a Derek Webb cover. Lyrically it's something Webb would sing, although in my opinion Foreman's lyricism can use some polishing compared to Webb.
The House of God Forever: Some Webb style string/harmonica arrangements with Foreman's adaptation of Psalm 23 are a hit. There's even a nod to Sufjan's trumpet obsession too.
Again: Foreman's lyrics with a strange but compelling dulcimer accompaniment.
If you like these artists, or just some more straightforward yet beautiful poetry in unique music that doesn't seem to have been CCM overproduced, get this album.
