There's tons to say about Esther from my end, but I'm in no rush to speak. I love how they keep getting better from their debut to this album. Perhaps this album ranks after Precious Remedies against satan's Devices personally

It's a great, great album. Dont have words to describe it properly. Dont care actually. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Coming back here to talk about Esther 'cause I can somewhat articulate myself.

Harmony/Vocal: The blend of the couple's voice is something I respect a lot. Not a lot of duos have the sync and harmony they do - perhaps cause they are married, perhaps cause they are artistic, or maybe cause they are just really good. It's one thing to sing well and another to do harmony well.

Instrumentation: It keeps blowing me away. Relistening to Bethlehem, A Noble City as I type this and I'm noticing sounds I didnt seem to take note off before. Particularly the strings on this album - you, my Pastor, know how much of a sucker for strings I am. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Lyrical Content: Spot-on. No need to type plenty. What I admire is the richness and poetry in their lyrics.

Simplicity: When it comes to music, I believe that in more ways than one, less is more. Maybe not on all tracks or genres, but I am not ignorant of the work put into this album. There's so much that doesnt overpower anything and just gives a simple feel to it. And that for me is a 102%.

Conclusion: I've been a fan of The Welcome Wagon for roughly 1.5 years, and I'm glad their releases have not disappointed. I can only pray that they keep growing in the Triune God and that their art keeps drawing people to Christ.

The End.
