White and Blue (CD Album | 2009)
Product Description
for White and Blue Release Date: 1.5.2009
The Anselm's eponymous debut album earmarked new territory for Christian music when it was released in 2006. They called their blend of understated song-writing and instrumental pieces " reflective sub-rock " and the critics agreed that this was " a new approach " (xt3.com) and " a disctinct sound... nicely carving out their own corner " (Christian Today).
White and Blue is an album that once more aims to lift the spirit and deepen our appreciation of Jesus Christ and from beginning to end shifts our attention from what's been done for us in the past to what awaits us in the future via our experience of the present, which is the album's chief consideration.
A new producer and studio have had a telling effect on the album's sound with everything crisper and fuller, the whole album feeling brighter than the debut; but that reflective subrock approach is still very much felt throughout. Clocking in at just over half an hour, White and Blue showcases the Anselm's ability to fashion concise, musically articulate songs that still contain true substance and depth.
REVIEWS
In some ways, this record is reminiscent of Eden Burning and early Jars of Clay - no bad thing. Stephen McCabe's vocals are not exactly soaring, but it doesn't distract from his heartfelt lyrics which clearly profess his faith. Clocking in at just 30 minutes, White and Blue leaves the listener wanting more - don't be surprised if The Anselm develop into a band who could quite easily grace the playlist of Radio 2.
HIGH: The DIY ethic of the album - yet it still sounds good. "
