In The Studio: Psalm 103

Spike (our amazing producer and bass player) prepares to work with Matt to record the lead vocal for the next (2nd) track – Psalm 103 – on our new (at this stage un-named) album. Most of the instrument tracks and backing vocals are recorded, and during this studio session Matt will add the final lead … Continued

30th Anniversary Concert

On July 13th, 2024, we marked our 30th Anniversary with a truly special concert in Melbourne, Australia. We had the honour of collaborating with the talented Jared Haschek, who crafted string arrangements and assembled an 8-piece string section for the event. The live strings added a remarkable depth to our performance of the Psalms, especially … Continued

We begin recording our 10th Studio Album

Well, the fun begins again as we start the process of recording for our 10th studio album. Matt and the crew – mostly Spike at this stage – have been working through various concepts and we’ve begun recording work for Psalms 103 and 13. Like our Man of Sorrows album, tracks will be released for … Continued

Behind the Scenes filming video for Psalm 139

Back in 2022, we had the opportunity to film a new collection of live videos, in an amazing old building at the renowned Geelong College, in our home town Geelong. The building is the dining hall for the senior school, opened by the Governor-General, Lord Stonehaven (1874-1941) on ‘Old Boys’ Day, 21 March 1930. With … Continued

Psalm 19 – LIVE

Filmed during our streamed concert in 2020 (in the midst of the pandemic) Psalm 19 is one of our favourites in the way it demonstrates the way we use ‘movements’ within our musical interpretations to serve the Psalm text. Featuring an opening instrumental solo from our multi-instrumentalist Mike Follent, there are two distinct musical ‘movements’ … Continued

Writing as we play live

Although most of our songs are written in the studio (or at least take their form there) part of our creative process over the years has also been to develop additional parts that add colour, during our live performances. We’ll often ‘road-test’ a song before we put down the final recording. While we do spend … Continued

Studio Sessions – Psalm 103

We’ve started work on our next studio album with initial writing sessions in the studio for Psalm 13 and Psalm 103. As always Spike (our producer and bass player) works with Matt to take these raw ideas and then build them into a full musical interpretation of the Psalm. It’s always amazing to watch how … Continued

Studio Sessions – Psalm 130

In this re-imagining of Psalm 130 – for our reCollection album, we started with an instrumental departure straight “off the bat” by having Matt play the iconic guitar part on an electric guitar instead of an acoustic guitar. (Thanks again to friend of the band Michael Brown for the loaner!) Seeking to achieve an atmospheric … Continued

Studio Sessions – Ps 128

We started off this recollection with the beautifully peaceful Psalm 128 which was originally recorded on our 2002 album Shelter. Anna’s moving interpretation of the melody, from gentle encouragement to a soaring proclamation of the Lord’s blessing, was a tremendous inspiration for our resident string arranging genius Jared Haschek to do his thing. Creating a … Continued
