When sifting through this year's favorite albums, it did not take us long to deem David Bazan's Curse Your Branches "Album of the Year." As we have already mentioned, recognizing particular artists/albums over others often says more about the listeners than it does the artist themselves. We acknowledge this.
So, what...

rednoW Favorites 2009
Year-end "lists" are a funny thing. They often say more about its contributor(s) than it does than the very thing it is hoping to promote. We are okay with this. It has been our mantra since the inception of rednoW to simply point others to experiences of wonder....

Who would have thought that Charles Darwin, the bearded Englishmen so universally admired and reviled, would make such a compelling figure for a hymn? Of course, "Oh My God Charlie Darwin," the title track for The Low Anthem's second album, isn't a hymn per se. You won't find this haunting...

If one is going to stand up to a God he has professed for most of his life, he better have a little swagger... and maybe even a little arrogance. David Bazan's "When We Fell" carries just that, not only in its lyrical content but also in the blues-rock riff...

Well... he did it. For all of you Pedro-Christians out there, if you were confused where David Bazan stood midst the Evangelical realm - it's official. It's "outside". Bazan's latest solo release Curse Your Branches proves to be his most autobiographical (and theological) album to date. Though committed to shed...

The difficult part of writing on, or discussing, a meaningful experience is that we run the risk of diminishing what was more amazing for us than we can attempt to match with the words at our disposal. "Awesome" is overused. "Crazy" sounds too frantic. "Righteous" rings a bit too...

I have this small, black, fits-in-your-pocket, piece of technology that I currently refer to as my Gregory Alan Isakov Player. You probably have one to—you call it an iPod—that is only because you have yet to upload Gregory into your iTunes libaray. Every summer deserves a soundtrack and This Empty...

One of the pioneers of the emo-rock genre, it is probably fair to call Jeremy Engik (melo)dramatic. His 2006 album World Waits is a huge, sweeping sound that can only be described as drama in instrumental form. With rumors of Sunny Day Real Estate once again getting the band back...

NEW UPDATED (time sensitive) INFO (at bottom of post)
It's still a secret, so keep your voice low... but Derek Webb has found a "loophole." We're still trying to piece it all together, but Webb seems to have had some dispute with his record label over a song on the album...
