When I first listened to Yves Tumor’s Gospel For a New Century I was fascinated. And then the album turned out to be a beautiful, emotional and passionate record that showcased many influences and an aesthetic craftsmanship in blending them all together in a way that felt completely the artist’s.
I loved “Heaven to A Tortured Mind” but also thought there was an “unfinished air” to it. I thought at times the melodies felt more like vignettes than finished songs. But my excitement for whatever Sean Bowie did next was such I’ve been quietly waiting for Praise a Lord Who Chews but Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply Hot Between Worlds).
And oh my, have they delivered?! A must-listen.
