It's Getting Crowdered in Here
Oh, the mystery and mastery of David Crowder. I can't begin to explain all of the reasons that I love his music. Not that you would want to read all of them anyway. I will, however, list a few reasons why all of you should get to know and love the force of nature known by his fans simply as "Crowder:"
1. His proclivity to subtitle everything, like his new album: "A Collision, or (3+4=7)." No idea what that means, but it's pretty cool.
2. Whereas many Christian artsits are writing music that likens itself to pixie sticks (good at first taste, but not ultimately satisfying), Crowder's music leaves you feeling like you've had a good steak dinner (unless you are Coral, in which case it leaves you feeling like you've had a "good tofu" dinner...if there were such a thing :)
3. That gotee. It actually has the status of being an entity unto itself. If you like it, you can grow your own.
4. Really funny text in the CD jacket like this: "There were a number of agreeable noise emitting devices used in the assembly of this recording that felt too tedious and pretentious to list. Chances are great that one of the persons mentioned on the previous pages is responsible for what you hearwith the following conjectural exceptions..." Honestly, who but Crowder...
5. The fact that so much sound can come from a body that would blow away in a stiff wind.
There are others, but I'll stop here. Add your own! Love your Crowder! Buy the CD!
