Musician Highlight: Monsters Calling Home

Sometimes you stumble upon musical gems that you don't want to tell anybody about. You want to keep it in your jacket pocket, close to your heart and all to yourself. This is one of those gems. I am going to share it, against my own selfish tendencies. 

Monsters Calling Home, everybody.



Now this song has very obvious spiritual undertones. When I heard it I definitely had to ask the Mumford and Sons question. What is the Mumford and Sons question, you may ask? 

"Wait...could these musicians be Jesus people too?" 

So I decided to dig a little further, all the while tapping my toes to more excellent music. 
This is a statement that the band has released.

We are Monsters Calling Home, a group of young Korean folk living in Los Angeles. Deeply into music and our maker, we hope to put on honest and heartfelt performances wherever we are asked. We dance thrice every night with bright eyes in a city of colour while arcades catch fire. We play loud and soft and sing about folks we know, we want to be, and we imagine in the dark.

Additionally, the band labels their music style: 
"Gangster Oriental Folk. Jesus."


*sigh. 
The moment you find Christians making stunning music is such a refreshing one. 

You know you were having your doubts.


Enjoy!
