Religious music Anonymous Thu Oct 23 23:09:22 2014 No.50879892 [Reply] [Original]

Is there any religious(specifically christian) music out there that's actually good? And I don't mean just music made by christians or music that vaguely or indirectly references bible messages or stories. I mean music that deals directly with topics like faith, acceptance, inner demons, or even just straight up worship music.

Pic related is a good example, I think. Fantastic album, and most of the lyrics deal with faith, and the human tendency to completely ignore cold logic in favor of a more comforting and irrational viewpoint.
It doesn't have to be pro- or anti- anything. I don't care what the artists' personal beliefs are. I'm just looking for something that's actually centered on these things.

For straight up worship, try anything by Soul Junk, a noise/outsider Christian artist (the albums 1950, 1951, and 1961 are my personal favorites)

You might also like Half Handed Cloud's Flying Scroll Flight Control, my AOTY and a complete worship album in the form of art pop and chamber music

While you're at it, try the Trees Community The Christ Tree for freak folk and Washington Phillips Key to the Kingdom for nostalgic and beautiful hymns the likes of which no Texan will ever grace again.

a weird example- David Tibet from Current 93 is Christian (albeit his own bizarre esoteric flavor of Christian) and a bunch of songs deal with that or reference it. Christ And The Pale Queens Mighty In Sorrow is 100% about that, Black Ships Ate The Sky has a series of hymns arranged, literally every album (except for the early occult stuff) is packed with eschtology and religious references, etc.

Illogic is a pretty darn good rapper
http://illogic.bandcamp.com/album/celestial-clockwork
The album is about his journey of finding his spirituality again and breaking free from a corrupt world.
It sounds cliche but he is very poetic
I recommend 1000 whispers and I Wish He Would Make Me if you want to sample the album

I mean, Danielson Famile is the first thing that comes to mind when mentioning experimental Christian music but if you're strictly speaking within his worship lo-fi rock period, the group Brahms Cool should be what you're looking for. I'll see if I can find their bandcamp.

This is one of my favorite albums, and I hate most christian music..

Deathbed is a serious tearjerker. Pretty relatable for a lotta people too. It's just great. And it ties in a melody introduced in the first song on the album which is neat
