Hello friends,

Well, here it is, the new Over the Rhine record. Some new music, some brand new quivering songs that YOU helped bring into being. Thank you.

We hope you enjoy it. Turn it up. If you believe in baptism by immersion: good headphones.

As we mentioned, this took longer to bring in for a landing than we had hoped. But who knows, maybe we all needed this music on a winter’s day in 2019.

And wait: this is just the first of the three records you will be receiving. The hymns record and Linford’s solo album are also in the works and will also be heading your way in 2019. We'll keep you posted as things progress.

Yes, maybe it's all meant to be.

You see, 2019 marks the 30th anniversary of Over the Rhine. And if we counted right, after we ease these three records out the door, that will be 30 projects in 30 years. (That includes a couple of odd compilations, some live albums etc.) But still. Wow. We couldn't have done that without you.

But back to Love & Revelation.

We have download links waiting for you.

And we included a copy of the lyrics in a simple document with some initial credits regarding who played on the songs, in case you want to print those out and take a look.

You can find it all here. (click to access your download)

If you are unsure which format to choose, please select MP3.

Please note: this link will expire after 7 days. (Please do not share!)

A couple of important notes:

The official release date for Love & Revelation is March 15, 2019.

So that we can have our team help get the word out about the project to a wider audience, service radio etc, we would ask that you not share the music publicly.

BUT if you like the record, please let your friends know that they can pre-order their own copy here:

https://stores.portmerch.com/overtherhine/pre-order-love-revelation.html

Anybody that pre-orders can download the first single, Love & Revelation, immediately. But in terms of the rest of the record, for now, it’s for your ears only!

Again, it is a beautiful thing to make music with all of you, our extended musical family. Thanks for your patience. Thanks again for pitching in so generously. We are grateful for your support of our life's work.

And there is still so much music left to be made.

Love & Revelation,

Linford and Karin
