Fading West (CD)

On the lead single from their ninth studio album FADING WEST, Grammy Award winning alt-rock band Switchfoot look back to a time when they'd just begun to push toward their dreams of bringing their music to the world. Featuring choir-like backing vocals from the band members' children-as well as the blend of edgy atmospherics and bright, breezy melodies that's become a hallmark of Switchfoot's emotionally intelligent and uplifting brand of rock- quot;Who We Arequot; embodies both a sweetly youthful spirit and the hard-won, highly impassioned joy that comes from triumphing through 17 years as a band. Throughout FADING WEST - the latest addition to a catalogue that has sold 5.5 million copies worldwide, including 2003's double-platinum breakthrough THE BEAUTIFUL LETDOWN and 2009's Grammy Award winning HELLO HURRICANE- Switchfoot reflect on their journey while wholeheartedly exploring all the pain and wonder of the present.

This ninth studio album by the Christian alt rock band is their follow-up to 2011's Vice Verses. Conceptualized as a soundtrack to their accompanying film of the same title, which documents the band's love of surfing, Fading West sees the band freed from the typical constraints of the three-minute pop song, experimenting with unusual instruments and musical textures. It also includes guest appearances from some friends of the band outside of the rock genre, including saxophonist Karl Denson and former Nickel Creek members Sean & Sara Watkins. ~ John D.
