MultiTracks Now Available from A Mirror Dimly by Citizens & Saints Tuesday, September 20, 2016 A Mirror Dimly is the name of Citizens & Saints' brand new studio project. The album came about as the band worked through the dissolving of their home church, Mars Hill, and it explores the dichotomy of faith and doubt. Frontman Zach Bolen shares, "We all search for something to believe in, and A Mirror Dimly is a concept album about our search for clarity. Faith and doubt aren't exclusive to Christian belief, but relative to the nature of the human heart. To doubt God is evidence of that nature, and doubt in one thing often prompts the belief in another. So in regards to the gospel, we have to first doubt our own ability to save ourselves (acknowledging our neediness) in order to believe (have faith) that God is our only way to salvation. To believe in God is evidence of a power at work that goes beyond the bounds of human nature." Recently, we brought you the MultiTracks for "Madness," "Relent," and "Day by Day" and we are pleased to let you know that the remaining songs from the album are now available!

MultiTracks from White Flag Now Available! Monday, September 12, 2016 White Flag is a new band that is comprised of a group of long-time friends who have a heart for helping people experience God's love and freedom through music. Having had many opportunities to lead worship with a number of bands and artists in the Colorado Springs area including Desperation Band, New Life Worship, Jared Anderson, and WorshipMob, the friends came together and began to write and record their own original music. The result of this collaboration is their brand new self-titled album, White Flag. The band shares, "From the beginning, we knew we wanted this debut album to feel honest and vulnerable. Just as life is an eclectic journey of ups and downs, we want this album to reflect that by not being confined to one "type" of music. With a blend of electronic dance music, reflective instrumental songs, and worship ballads written with the local church in mind - this album will be our best effort to foster the vulnerability that humanity is often so afraid of - but never fails to set us free when we lean into it."
