Every once in a while, I hear an album that gives me hope for Christian music.  A few years ago it was all things by Sufjan Steven.  I have not found anything that even compared to that until now.  A few months ago, Aaron Strumpel, a collaborator in the Enter the Worship Circle, released a solo album called Elephants--incredible.  Sensitive, Intuitive, Raw, Beautiful, and amazingly crafted, this album has been the soundtrack of one of the most interesting weeks of my life-- I just purchased my first condo, gulp.  I am really struck by the emotional wealth contained in each song and the way the music started to pull out of me the paradox of feelings that were coming up in my heart.  I am so thankful for the way the music gave me a structure to offer the overwhelming jumbledness I was experiencing to God and allow Him to be in it with me.  Such an amzing thing, music is!  Check out Elephants and let me know what you think.
