The day is nearly here - tomorrow marks the release of Ending is Beginning, the new studio project from my band downhere. I am personally really excited about this project. When we went into the studio in January to start recording in earnest I was really concerned that we didn't have the right songs yet. As an artist you always want to be improving in your craft - we felt like our last studio project Wide-Eyed and Mystified was the absolute best album we had recorded up until that point, and I wasn't sure we had material that would result in a stronger project this time around.
Well, I was wrong, and the Lord showed is faithfulness to us once again. I can confidently say that I feel like this new album is our best album yet. The musical variety, lyrical depth, and overall accessibility of the 13 songs collected on this project are second to none in our repetoire. And we've already seen great response to some of the new songs that we've been playing live as well as to the current radio single called "Here I Am" which is in the Top 10 and climbing.
We would love it if you would take a second this week and either download the album from iTunes or go visit your local Christian bookstore and pick it up. We're excited about what the Lord's got in store for us next - even though not knowing can sometimes be a scary thing.You can listen to some of the songs on our MySpace page if you want to preview the record before you buy it. Hope you enjoy!

This album has been a blessing in my life and I don't even own it yet (well tomorrow yay). I love that you allowed your fans to listen the the entire album before it was released.
There has been some rough patches in my life lately and God used some of your new music to help me. I sometimes take advantage of God's unconditional love for me and until I listen to your music it hits me with a ton of bricks that his love his free for the taking I just have to be a willing participant.
Thank you for listening to God and making such wonderful music and lyrics. It wasn't until I came across your music two years ago, that I could say I was a fan of any Christian music. Keep it up, you've got a fan for life!

Hey Jeremy!
Congratulations on your new album! I'm still following you guys here in Germany and spreading the word. Please let me know if you ever come back to Germany. I have been living in Hamburg for 3 years now and have switched careers. I'm now an English teacher instead of a graphic designer. It's a better fit and definitely. Take care of yourselves and God bless you!

Hey Jeremy!
I've been listening to the new album all day since I purchased it this morning. WOW. It's fantastic! Like you, I was wondering if "Wide-eyed and Mystified" could be topped, but you guys have done it!
Although the tunes are absolutely amazing, what's most impressive to me are the song lyrics. The only songs I've heard with more theology are hymns! Incredible song-writing, once again!
Out of curiosity, is there a word-meister in the group, or do Jay and Marc work together on it?

We preordered three copies & my MIL preordered one... Also my superfriend who works at the Christian bookstore has one stashed away with our name on it for tomorrow! I told her to tell EVERYBODY that it is such a good CD, somebody came to buy it the SECOND it came out. :)
