Album Of The Day: Free Flying Soul by The Choir

Album Art of The Choir's Free Flying Soul album - On a golden yellow background on the edges which fades to white in the center, what looks like some sort of stone or wood carving of a winged man flying towards the camera from above. His hands are stretched out above the camera and he's looking ahead, above the camera. He's got a big chin and large eyes that seem to be painted on. In the top left, the band name is printed in a hairline box, and in the bottom right, the album title is printed in smaller text on a hairline baseline.

"I am the ocean / Purified by all the tears of time." Released 30 years ago this past Sunday, this is the eighth studio album by alternative rock band The Choir, a band which has been active for over 40 years now and still puts out new music. I wasn't listening to much music back when this came out, but thanks to their regular habit recently of re-releasing their albums on CD and vinyl, I have been learning about this band I missed in my younger years. This is 45 minutes of quality rock with a bit of that grunge sound that was so popular during that era. Sometimes I don't know what their songs are talking about, like "Salamander", "Polar Boy" and "Yellow-Haired Monkeys". Though I guess there does seem to be some connection between the animals of nature and the album title, Free Flying Soul. This was just re-released in the last year or two, so it's pretty new to me and not my favorite album from The Choir, but it's definitely a good listen.
