My friends Laura and Brandon, who I play with in Folksplosion have just finished recording and mixing their new album and I got a sneak peek today.  The songs are beautiful, spiritual songs. “Living The Kingdom Life” starts off with barely a guitar and a whisper, but builds into a crescendo of harmony and piano and then even a choir (of which I was honored to be a part of).   These folk/gospel songs have the maturity and grit to fit in perfectly on a Paste sampler.  There songs range from waltzes about loneliness to Dylanesque spritituals to prayerful ballads.  I think the release date for the record is sometime in early May. For now you can preview four songs ontheir Myspace
