Giving away an entire album for free is not exactly a revolutionary idea anymore. Radiohead made the world pause and take notice, but In Rainbows was hardly the first CD to be given up for a free and legal download. The latest noteworthy band to do this is the Christian melodic alternative rock band–downhere. Though their most recent album Wide-eyed and Mystified was released just over two years ago, the Canadian band has today made that album available as a free download via musicchristian.com.
For the month of June only you can download this excellent, critically acclaimed album for free. The CD is full of accessible, radio-friendly hits, but downhere carves a unique niche, due to its great vocalist (listen to “Remember Me”) and thoughtful lyrics. Due to the saturation of piano-driven, brit-influenced pop these days, there’s a tendency to not even give a group like downhere a listen, but when the choice is free, why not take a chance, download the album, and see what you think?
Tracks to start with:
“The More” and “Remember Me”
Specs:
- Album download link: HERE
- Album length: 13 tracks; 54 minutes
- Release date May 23, 2006 to rave reviews (including 4 1/2 stars from ChristianityToday and 5 from Jesusfreakhideout.com)
If you download the album, why not leave a comment and tell me what you think of it? Positive thoughts? Negative? Let me know.
Have a blessed day!
