Louder Than The Music

Worship leader Olly Knight, from The City Church in Canterbury, releases his debut worship album 'The Stream' on iTunes later this month.

Recorded with Steve Harding and Tom Mills from The Push Community, a collection of worship leaders, the album features co-writes with Simon Brading, Mike Reeves and others.

"I've been considering recording a worship album for years but it just never seemed the right time", confesses Olly. "The worship singles I've released in the past couple of years I've liked but they aren't necessarily the kind of music I'd choose to listen to."

"This got me thinking... How can I fuse together the songs I've written with other new songs in a style of music that I like playing and that gets me really excited? When I want to listen to music I want to listen to ambient music with great soundscapes (Sigur Ros, Explosions in the sky) and electronica music (Radiohead) so it makes sense that I make that kind of album. Yes the album will have a band but it will also have lots of beats and synths and programming too!"

"The beauty of the Father, Son and Spirit needs to be sung about. My desire is for God to be glorified through these Trinitarian worship songs and reach people's ears that don't know Him yet. I also want believers to be reminded of the gospel afresh from hearing and singing the truths on this record."
