Tune In Saturdays: Lift to Experience
It's not often a band so powerful and unique as Lift to Experience comes along.
LTE makes anthems, soft music that builds into breathtaking crescendos, tinged with the religious struggle in frontman Josh Pearson's life. A son of a preacher, Pearson's music is absorbed with the embattlement of these theological demons.
"The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads" is an album based on the concept of Texas as the promised land in the end times. The story goes like this, the USA is the center of JER USA LEM, and Texas is the center of the USA, and as such, is God's land.
"Waiting to Hit" rips at your soul, blazing through heavy rhythms and searing guitars at times, and quiet poetry at others. The song gives an intoxicating indoctrination into the LTE experience. Download here.
Unfortunately, Lift was short-lived as they broke up not long after the release of this record. Josh Pearson remains, occasionally playing in Europe, and apparently getting closer to releasing his first solo record.
Below is the video for "These are the Days".
