Illuminate (CD)

David Crowder is one of the biggest names in Contemporary Christian Music. His band plays a mix of alt-rock and Dave Matthews-style pop marked by the occasional electronica touch. Crowder is a devout Christian and is unapologetic about his intent to proselytize via his band, hoping to convert the uninitiated and strengthen the resolve of the saved. Crowder and his band are talented musicians and smart songwriters, and have garnered several Dove Awards over the course of their quick ascent to stardom. The group's 2007 album, REMEDY, features a cameo from politically conservative rocker Ted Nugent.

Even though David Crowder is ostensibly a Christian rock artist, he's first and foremost a contemporary singer-songwriter. Accordingly, one doesn't even begin to disseminate the spiritual content of his lyrics until after fully experiencing his sonic blueprint. With help from his apparently close-knit band, he's fashioned a sound that's not far from that of David Gray. Folk-rock acoustic guitars and soulfully emotive vocals mix with burbling synthesizers and drum loops, adding a more expansive touch along the way via some wide-screen electric guitars a la the Wallflowers. Moving through ILLUMINATE, the influence of everyone from Dave Matthews to Dashboard Confessional can be felt, but only in fleeting moments before moving on to something else. Add in some substantive, faith-oriented lyrics, and you've got a band difficult to pigeonhole, but easy to like.
