with some music:<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve tussled<\/a> here about the possible merits of Mumford & Sons, and discussed other albums from the Christ-haunted section of the indie music world<\/a>. There may be enough of these artists now to constitute a tradition or subgenre: heartfelt guys with sincere guitars, aching and unslaked souls whose faith is found in silhouette, in the negative space which remains despite everything they\u2019ve lost. Youngest Son<\/a>, a project of heartfelt\/sincere Chicagoan Steve Slagg, has two new albums which describe Christian mourning\u2014the doubt of grieving Christians as well as their faith\u2014with emotional honesty and a tuneful, memorable pop sensibility.<\/p>\n

Full disclosure: On Youngest Son\u2019s first album, \u201cPigshit and Glowing<\/a>,\u201d there\u2019s apparently a song sort of partly inspired by some of my writing. I haven\u2019t listened to the album yet, mostly because that seems weird, but my personal awkwardness shouldn\u2019t stop you.<\/p>\n

The new releases are a full album,\u00a0\u201dAll Saints Day<\/a>,\u201d and a companion EP which you can download for free, \u201cAll Souls Day<\/a>.\u201d The free download will give you a taste; I\u2019d be surprised if you don\u2019t think the full album is worth paying for.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
