Andrew Choi is one of the most unique and powerful singer-songwriters working right now, and Ten Songs of Worship and Praise for Our Tumultuous Times is the proof. Choi''s fourth album as St. Lenox is at turns lush and raw, with gorgeous and impressionistic instrumentation orbiting around his forceful, intense vocals and the autofictional words that they carry. This is music struck with the uncertainty and passion of faith''an album about religion, belief, and locating the self amidst such weighty and intangible concepts. Just like life itself, there''s tons to discover in these ten songs, providing plenty in terms of revelation long after the record''s stopped. Listening to Ten Songs of Worship is an immediate experience, capturing your full attention in a generous and benevolent way. You may not hear another record like it this year, and if you do, consider yourself lucky. Packaging: Cloudy Clear vinyl; LP [w/ download card]
