New Music Monday.
I just received a copy of Rain City Hymnal yesterday.
RCH is the newest project from the Mars Hill Recording Squadron in Seattle (Mark Driscoll Mars Hill, not Rob Bell Mars Hill). It’s a compilation from a few of their worship bands (Ex Nihilo, The Northern Conspiracy, Team Strike Force, E-Pop and The BCG), but rather than creating another Tomlin look alike, they re-worked a dozen well-known hymns in an indie-pop style.
As a general rule, I really dislike hymn remakes. But this is different. Each band adds their own personality to the record. It plays less like a worship album or set of hymns, and more like a compilation of indie bands.
I’d give it 7 out of 10… if I were a giving type of person.

Dude, where can I get a copy of this? Do you know of a website where I can purchase? I’m scouring the internet and finding nothing.
Blessings,
