What we've got here is pleasant, coffeehouse acoustic praise and worship music. Gentle and lilting, Nate & James add auxiliary instrumentation at times (Hammond organ, sitar), but never really break out of that mold--not that it's a bad thing. Fans of Jars of Clay and Caedmon's Call will be delighted, and this is more desirable than the other, currently more popular side of the worship music coin: anthemic, chest-beating, mid-period U2 arena rock.

Have them use their emotive voices…Similar sounding releases
