Andy IM’d me just now to point me to Christianity Today‘s review of The Morning:
Front man Andrew Osenga carries [The Normals]‘s legacy, independently recording his solo debut Photographs in 2002 before stepping in as lead guitarist for Caedmon’s Call while also keeping busy with studio work and production. Now maybe it’s the kind of music he’s recently gravitated toward, or perhaps it’s due to the stripped down sound of Osenga’s 2004 EP Souvenirs & Postcards, but I half expected the same folk/country on his second album, co-produced with Normals keyboardist Cooley. Instead, The Morning could pass as the follow-up to The Normals’ final album, with production values that surpass most albums in Christian music today, and Osenga continuing to impress (even surprise) as a songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist.
Suffice it to say that Russ Breimeier likes The Morning. So do we.
