The Search Party - Montgomery Chapel
Review by Outsider Muzic
Montgomery Chapel, the latest album by Search Party, is a soulful and introspective collection of songs that showcases the band's musical prowess and artistic vision. With their signature blend of folk, rock, and Americana, Search Party weaves together a tapestry of sound that is both haunting and beautiful.
The album opens with "The Lighthouse," a melancholic ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The track is driven by the haunting vocals of lead singer, Emily, and the intricate guitar work of the rest of the band. From there, the album takes us on a journey through love, loss, and the human experience.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Wolves," a song that explores the darker side of human nature. The driving rhythm and soaring harmonies create a sense of urgency that perfectly captures the intensity of the lyrics. Another highlight is "The River," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Emily's vocal range and the band's ability to create a sense of atmosphere through their music.

This is dope

This is the real deal, not the commercialized Far Right Evangelical Christian "rock" of today....

Wooww!! I never thought that something like "psychedelic christian music" could actually exist!!
Here the female singer has the timbre and the vitality of Grace Slick,the organ player learned very well the lesson from The Doors's Ray Manzarek,and overall the harmonies and chord changes are worthy of a David Crosby!!! You have everything you could desire for a musical drug-trip...but the christian textes contradict the music,and this is quite unique and fascinating!

This record proves that gospel music, when creatively inspired, can be be very beautiful and captivating: even for the unbeliever! Wonderful combination of acid folk and Christianity!

Cette musique ...de la drogue,sans drogue

Nicholas Freund was from Wisconsin, so that explains a lot of the extra-weird on the effort. A classic Jesus lp, right up there with the Fraction - Moon Blood record.

If you had told me one month ago my new favourite album would be Christian rock I'd of laughed in your face.
