Love & Revelation, the title track from our forthcoming album, is now available on all the streaming sites including Spotify, Amazon, Apple Music etc.
Here are some of our thoughts we gathered about the song. Thanks for listening. ~ L&K
Our friend Joe Henry signs off at the end of his always beautiful letters with the words, love & revelation. It's a blessing he offers, the hope being that we all still have the capacity to be surprised by something true and good.
The phrase, love & revelation, became important to us, and we asked Joe if we could borrow it for this record. He quickly agreed.
It's so easy (and often feels necessary) to stand against something these days. To feel the need to resist some daily tide of deception and cruelty. It's harder sometimes to remember and articulate what exactly it is that we are for.
When Karin started this song with her acoustic guitar, accompanied solely by the stripped down righteous parade laid down by drummer and percussionist, Jay Bellerose, sparks flew immediately. We quickly and intuitively agreed: this was all that was needed to see the song fully realized. So there it was: vocal, acoustic guitar and drums. It hadn't been planned that way, and maybe that's the point: When most everything gets stripped away, what remains?
Let the truth be revealed.
