Album Of The Day: Land by Tree63

Album Art of Tree63's Land album - The background is what looks like a sky full of clouds, and various parts are colored blue-green, pink, and blue, so it looks a bit supernatural, but the clouds do have a 3-D, realistic shape to them. On the bottom is a black-and-white drawing of waves, with a shipwreck of an old seafaring vessel with its poles for the sails tilted a bit and the masts/sails missing. The back half of the ship is completely missing and the interior of the ship can be seen there. Above the mast, printed in a thin white font is the band name and the album title. Around the edge there is a large white border.

Released on this day 10 years ago is this sixth and final studio album from South African rock band Tree63. Eight years after their previous album, Sunday!, the band released this album after a successful crowd-funding campaign. It was really fun to hear from this legendary band again and hear them doing what they do best, which is quality rock with religious lyrics and not necessarily pop/worship anthems. 11 new songs are present and a few have a nautical theme like the cover artwork. It was fun to hear a new version of "Stumbling Stone" from their 1999 63 album from back when the band was just known as "Tree". It's not my favorite album of theirs, but it was so good to hear more from them and get to hear them do the music they wanted to do independently, not just what a record label thought they could sell. Thanks for making this for us fans, John Ellis and mates. Best wishes to the band members on their current careers, whatever they are, and thanks for all the great music.
