Currently, in the church calendar, we are in the season of Lent. This time is generally marked by a deep introspection, meditation, and focus upon those dark and deep whispers in our hearts from which we spend the rest of the year trying to numb and distract ourselves. To serve us in this time, I made another mixtape.

May we drink deeply the words of those crying out to God in these songs and let their music draw us to mourning for all the ways we have acted, such that our God had to die to deal with it. [Cover Art: from a lithograph series on Job by Czech artist Oldrich Kulhanek. Be sure to check out his other stuff; it's incredible.]
