Third Day Delivers 11th Studio Album 'Move' In October
US rock band Third Day delivers its soul-stirring 11th studio album 'Move' on 19th October. Produced by Paul Moak (Mat Kearney, Matt Maher) and recorded in the band's new, Atlanta-based, state-of-the-art studio 'The Quarry' and Moak's well known 'The Smoakstack', the 12-track offering has been described by early listeners as "visceral and gritty; reminiscent of the acclaimed band's Time record."
The project leads with the incendiary first single 'Lift Up Your Face' - featuring The Blind Boys of Alabama - which has claimed more than 3.1 million impressions this week alone. Mac Powell, the band's charismatic lead vocalist, explains, "The country is going through hard times, and there are doubts and insecurity. The message [of 'Lift Up Your Face'] is our message of encouragement - not just to listeners though - to us as well. It's a message we all need to hear and I think that really sums up a lot of what we were going for with this record."
Musically, 'Move' delivers songs that are rootsy, soulful and riveting, taking full advantage of Third Day's longstanding rock influence. Yet the sound retains an edgy authenticity that's incredibly timely as heard in the raw and addictive, 'Make Your Move'. Additional highlight tracks include the worshipful 'Children of God', 'Gone', 'Surrender' and 'Follow Me There'. Each song is lyrically inspiring with hints at Third Day's southern roots from the slide guitar and hand claps, reminiscent of Tom Petty, to the layers of smokey vocals.
