Album Of The Day: The Resting Place by The Resting Place

Album Art of The Resting Place's self-titled album - On what looks like a grey-green sky, a grainy pink cloud is coming out of a dark red haze below it at the bottom. In the bottom right in white print it says the artist name.

Released just last month, this album is the first full-length release from a new collective of worship leaders who want to make new music to be sung by church congregations. Unlike the music coming out of most mega-church worship teams today, these songs do not sound like a Coldplay song or any stadium pop anthem. Jeremy Casella, Rachel Wilhelm, Josh Miles and Karin Simmons take turns on the lead vocals and wrote these new songs, all new melodies and some original lyrics with some old hymn tests or translations of scripture. It's refreshing to hear some new music that isn't trying to chase the latest industry trends, but instead focuses on connecting congregations together in prayer and praise to God. I'm looking forward to listening to this album again soon.

Photo of a middle-aged man from the chest up on the right, holding a vinyl album in a slipcase on his left. The album is The Resting Place's self-titled album. He's got a beard, a mustache, and thick glasses. Behind him is a shelf with many CDs and the walls are a light yellow.
