Campfire
Hailing from Bangor, Northern Ireland, Rend Collective Experiment is a group of friends collectively wondering how to make sense of the conundrum of life, God and community. What Rend Collective Experiment's 15-plus members add to the conversation are melodies, harmonic progression and lyrics that are Scriptural and contemporary, fresh and ancient. Several standout songs reflect the brilliance of Campfire, my favorite live worship album since Cornerstone by Hillsong LIVE. After opening track, "Kumbaya," "Come On My Soul" grabs listeners with the gang vocals and musical style which crescendos to a worshipful chorus and call to worship. "Desert Soul" and "Build Your Kingdom Here" compare favorably to the hit GRAMMY nominated worship song "Beautiful Things" by Gungor, including harmonious male and female vocals and incredible musicianship. "Movements" is an amazing song. I'm completely convicted by the strong lyrics and find immense comfort in this song filled with biblical truth.
