This is a pleasantly unusual EP from a South Jersey-based rock band. The female vocals (by Tiandra Jones) are light and self-assured, but by contrast underpinned by a progressive rock sound - driven largely by the insistent bass playing of Ahmad Sanon and Alan Wilkins, especially on the opening track I Am Free , a declaration of confident faith.

Awake My Soul with its rhythmic percussion and rock guitars is powerful stuff while Nashville s Chris McClarney accompanies Nathan on Tear The Veil which is beautifully sung and references the Lord s Prayer.

Nathan reflects on the implications of Christ s sacrifice for us on the final track, Sweet Communion summing up his own deep relationship with his Saviour.
