Worship-collective Deeper Well have released their new album 'Volume II', recorded and mixed live in Portland late last year.
"Over the course of two cold fall nights, some members of the Deeper Well family gathered together at a 1920’s church building in NE Portland to record a brand new compilation album. Tracked and mixed entirely live on an early 80’s 4-track cassette recorder, Volume II is a hushed and intimate worship record that showcases 6 beautiful new original songs, plus 4 covers, ranging from Holly Ann’s sparse and haunting “Breather of the Stars”, Nick Smith’s soulful “King of Glory”, to Wesley...

"Over the course of two cold fall nights, some members of the Deeper Well family gathered together at a 1920’s church building in NE Portland to record a brand new compilation album. Tracked and mixed entirely live on an early 80’s 4-track cassette recorder, Volume II is a hushed and intimate worship record that showcases 6 beautiful new original songs, plus 4 covers, ranging from Holly Ann’s sparse and haunting “Breather of the Stars”, Nick Smith’s soulful “King of Glory”, to Wesley Randolph Eader’s spirited take on the classic country-hymn “Leave It There”. We hope this compilation gives listeners a picture of what Deeper Well has been up to, and a taste of what is to come in the next year of releases."
Deeper Well was formed in 2012 as a collective for followers of Jesus who want to use their creative gifts to explore the depths of the Gospel.
"Our goal as a collective is to help creatives and artists navigate the tension so often found between the world of art and the world of Jesus - for art by its very nature is self-expression, while Jesus by His very nature is self-denial. What we need is a drive for creativity that is not motivated by the desire to be known, but by the desire to make Jesus known. It is a need for Christ-expression, for the rise of the prophetic voice. We must remember that the ancient Hebrew prophets were poets - their words were inspired by God, and drew the people back to God. It was artisans gifted by God who used their creativity to build a sacred space where God’s presence would be experienced. We believe that this kind of expression is needed desperately in these difficult days. Our desire is to provide creative work that flows from a deep understanding of the gospel and that is available for the church as a whole."
