Casting Pearls

I want to take a moment and really endorse a new CD I have been listening to. It is the self-titled effort by mid-westerners Casting Pearls.



These guys have a great sound. The songs range from guitar driven rock numbers like Weighted and Alright to haunting praise ballads like Focus and the Christian Radio hit You Alone. I enjoy the powerful anthem Revolution.

Front man Bryan Olsen flexes his Edge-style guitar chops throughout the CD and his soaring vocals are reminiscent of Freddy Mercury of Queen. They have a real Coldplay or Dashboard quality to them that makes this disk very timely. But more than the sound I enjoyed the message of this disk. It was hopeful without being sappy. It was Christ-centered without being cliche or watered down. They strike the perfect balance.

I highly recommend the purchase of this CD. If you like Crowder or Switchfoot, Coldplay or the Fray, you will love this disk.
