TAKE 6

Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I bought their first album based on Brian Wilson's endorsement quote. Crazy good stuff. Feather light a cappela vocal blend, sneaky rhythms that take unexpected detours, harmonies playing clever little tricks that keep you guessing. And for an expressly Christian content, lyrics that usually stay a couple of notches above simplistic platitudes, and often even have fun.
