Searchlights.The music delivered on
Searchlights reaches out with a rare blend of non-alienating spiritual commentary and artistic relevance.
Produced by
Chris Stevens (
Sanctus Real,
Shawn McDonald,
Delirious?), the record conveys classic Bible truths in a fresh voice (Peter’s denial in Providence), fashions vulnerable prayers into memorable, soaring alternative pop songs (Be Alive In Me), and praises God while wearing the creative influences of
The Beatles and
Coldplay on All Because Of You. The theme of danger and hope shines throughout the album. Radio single Hold On depicts a struggling teenage girl from a broken family. Hold on. Someone will find you. Look for the searchlights, Engler assures her with his controlled, contagious yelp.
