Style: Quiet, contemplative rock
Top tracks: “Fill Me Up,” “How He Loves,” “Glory of God”
In a nutshell: Having penned a handful of the modern church’s most sung worship tunes, Desperation Band founding member Jared Anderson tempers his artist persona with his associate pastor duties at Colorado Springs’ New Life Church. Corralling his home church folk for support, the personality of Anderson’s first live venture is undoubtedly congregational, with plenty of choir and crowd voices present in the mix. While his own vocal is distinctive enough to solo, its passionate delivery aids Anderson in the call to worship the greatness of God rather than man. Featuring ten new tracks alongside Anderson standard “Glorified” and John Mark McMillan’s “How He Loves,” Live is a worthwhile complement to any believer’s private worship time.
