The Brilliance

This band has been absolutely blowing my mind with their new album "All Is Not Lost" over the last couple of months.  I'd known about the group for at least a couple of years thanks to my wife--the lead singer is evidently Michael Gungor's brother, and I would often get their music confused since their voices and musical style are quite similar.  I always thought their music was somewhat aimless and wandering, though.  This all changed about a month ago when we went to a show at the Boulder Theatre where they were opening for Josh Garrels.  Their songs took on a new life performed live, and with an incredibly powerful mix of electronica and orchestral arrangements.  Everything I heard from their upcoming 2017 album (which we were permitted to buy at the December concert even though it hadn't been officially released yet) was encouraging.  The album itself still gives me chills every time after listening to it many dozens of times.  You need to get it.  It's hard to envision the album not being top on my list of albums for 2017.
