Look, God’s Home is Now among his People!

3 And I heard a great voice from out of heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men and He will tabernacle with them and they will be His peoples (of note-people is plural here), and God Himself will be with them as their God. 4 And He will wipe away every tear from out of their eyes; and death will be no longer, nor mourning, nor crying, nor pain; they will be no longer because the first things have passed away. — Revelation 21:3-4 | Literal Emphasis Translation (LET) The Literal Emphasis Bible is in the public domain.

Decree #2- Letting go of the former things.

Decree #2- Letting go of the former things.

All across this world the Lord has been preparing people to move into a new season, a better season that is working in line with the Revival that has started. There is garbage in each of our lives that needs to be dumped and not carried into this new season. In the first decree, we are closing that door to fear because it seems like it is always a door opener for so many other things. To move…

LoneLady Album Review: Former Things

(Warp)

BY JORDAN MAINZER

“I don’t look at the future,” claims Manchester multi-instrumentalist Julie Campbell on the opening track of her third record as LoneLady, Former Things. It’s a weird thing to say for somebody who has released only three albums in 11 years, no matter the circumstances. Former Things itself was 4 years in the making, recorded not in Manchester but at a converted 18th century rifle range in Somerset House in London. You also feel like she looks at the past, too, at least in terms of aesthetic: 2010′s Never Up and 2015′s Hinterland were prime examples of the same breed of jagged post-punk bands like Dry Cleaning preach now, while Former Things is a punk-funk record with an elevated vocal performance in the same spirit as Squid. Her ability to perceive trends is prescient: back to the future.

Yet, listening to Former Things, it’s clear Campbell’s truly living in the present, letting the songs breathe, their elements take shape as they will. "In this long, narrow concrete room I set up my studio to be part art-installation, part nightclub,” said Campbell about the making of the record, “where I could turn the volume up loud and project Cabaret Voltaire super-8 videos and Ingmar Bergman films across the stone walls.” You can picture her creative process listening to the album, written, performed, and recorded entirely by her, songs that make the most out of drum programming and hardware. The guitars are there, even a bit like before, but they pop in and out with ease, just at the right moments. Opener “The Catcher” begins with deep bass, synthesizers, and 808s, Campbell belting and pining for certainty: “What’s the answer?” she asks. Sharp guitars are an ingredient, but not the main feature.

If “The Catcher” almost seems like a transitional song, both in terms of Campbell’s use of guitars and her uncertainty, the rest of the album is assured, both thematically and instrumentally. The boldly titled “(There Is) No Logic” is chock full of rigid synths, drums, and vocal samples where Campbell’s statements about time and the brain are more declarative: “All we are is memory.” “Time Time Time” is a confident Chaka Khan-inspired bed of electric guitars, sparkling synths, and chugging drum beats. The wonderful title track actually features acoustic-sounding (!) guitars, a strummed, upbeat groove for 5 steady minutes, while “Treasure” also features distorted, echoing guitar prickles. Every time Campbell seems like she might fall under the weight of technology-addled paranoia, like on the lurking, atonal “Threats”, she doubles down: “Wherever fear goes, I go,” she announces stone-faced on “Fear Colours”. On her best album yet, it seems as though self-doubt is indeed a former thing.
