The Rekindling of the Stars is the latest album from Space Coast electro rock band, The Quiet Science. This project is the band's third full-length and most lyrically worship-driven album to date and was recently featured on Relevant Magazine's The Drop. The Quiet Science's unique sound blends ethereal ambience with driving beats and melodic synth lines, all coming together to lay a foundation for the album's core message of restoration. Frontman Nathan Walter says, “We have always shaped our songs to tell honest stories of life - the good and the bad. Stories that always end in redemption and renewal. Our songs typically end in a place of worship, but at this time in our lives, we wanted to create a project that was purely worship, focused on restoration. A worship album that could be deeply personal for the individual, but one that could also be sung in a community setting."
"Bonfires" speaks of the spark that is ignited within us as the result of an encounter with Jesus. The low key verses offer a dynamic contrast to the chorus in which the music explodes as it audibly demonstrates the blaze of our passion for Him, declaring, "It's the infinite beauty of your grace, undying love beyond our wildest dreams that sparks the flame to burst anew, our hearts ablaze to burn for you." "Silent on our Knees" approaches the Savior with awe and reverence, bringing us to a holy place where we can be silent and listen for His voice. The song contains an overall quiet ambience, though the music builds with great intensity as we're reminded that as we tune out the things of this world, we will hear Him calling out to us and reminding us of who we are in Him. "The Restoration of all Things" is similarly reverent as it prayerfully seeks the presence of God, that we might surrender all that we are and worship Him for it is in His presence that we will find true rest and healing, "Here as You draw us near, we bend our knee to You alone. Here, Lord we lift You high. We lay our hearts before Your throne." The music swells as the bridge declares, "And in Your presence I remember tears that I’d forgotten over time, but You did not. And in Your presence I remember prayers that I gave up on over time, but You did not. And in Your presence I remember all the times I thought You left my side, but You did not."
