Fractures is another collection of biblical Psalms from Sons of Korah that spans the range of emotion reflected in the Psalms.
From the ambient praise of Psalm 124 to the turbulent battle cry of Psalm 68, and then the sweet reflective moments in the deeply worshipful Psalm 34. There are also moments of touching sadness such as Psalm 60 in which the psalmist cries out to God to “mend our fractures.”
The album title points to the earthy realism of the Psalms which has been such a consolation to people through the ages in the midst of life’s hardships. Sons of Korah have devoted themselves to giving full musical expression to these honest and passionate biblical songs for the last 20 years and this new album adds a fresh collection of Psalms to their already expansive collection.
Sons of Korah is an Australian based band devoted to giving a fresh voice to the biblical psalms.
The Psalms have been the primary source for the worship traditions of both Judaism and Christianity going right back to ancient times. With their unique acoustic, multi-ethnic sound Sons of Korah have given this biblical songbook a dynamic and emotive new musical expression. They endeavour to lead their listeners into an impacting encounter with this book that is often described as the ‘heart’ of the bible.
From lamentation to songs of jubilant praise, from battle cry to benediction, from exclamation of awe and wonder to reflections of tranquillity and perfect wisdom, Sons of Korah provide a compelling portrait of the world and experience of the psalms.
