This live recording contains three tracks recorded in June 2015. The collective were originally formed for a one-off event based at their church at Muswell Hill and decided to keep going. This EP is their first crack at recording. The opener is a re-write of the hymn "Immortal, Invisible/Now We Know Joy" with a pumping disco-tinged bass line while "Nothing But The Blood" has more of a rock feel. The third and final track "Boldly To Approach" is the only original song on the EP and has an almost folk/Celtic feel. This approach to worship is both refreshing and inspiring and stands out amongst the stereotypical worship releases. The only thing letting the project down is the sub-standard quality of the recording which lacks clarity. Having said that, this is still worth investigating.
