Rend Collective Experiment have recently been working on their second album, planned for released in early 2012. Discussing the forthcoming new album, the band said, "We are in the middle of recording what we hope will be an amazing album bringing together the search for honesty, vulnerability and mission in worship with a spark of imagination and fun. We have been working as a collective really hard over this last year to write songs that the church can use in worship without using cliches or tired ideas."
