Album Of The Day: As Long As I Am In The Tent of This Body I Will Make A Joyful Noise Pt. 1 by John Van Deusen
Released today, this is the sixth album from John Van Deusen, an indie-rock, indie-folk artist who was the lead singer of band The Lonely Forest. Musically, this is definitely a rock album with lots of experimentation, but the lyrics are unexpectedly songs of praise, worship and pleas for help to God. Like the cover artwork is a collage of various works, the music pulls from many styles, and the lyrics draw on the Bible, his own experiences, and much more. This is very different from the stadium pop/rock anthems that is popular in modern church music today, and I think it's refreshing. John Van Deusen has been making music as a solo artist for over 8 years, and even among his albums, this one seems even more epic and earnest. I think this is an album I am going to be listening and processing over the coming months.
