Free Music: Andrew Osenga

Andrew Osenga, former lead singer for The Normals, and current lead guitartist for Caedmon’s Call has a new album out entitled Letters to the Editor, Vol. II.

Here’s what Christianity Today has to say about Andrew’s latest independent release:

The idea is simple, the execution masterful. Fans submitted ideas via Osenga’s website—a subject, a lyric, even a photo—then he crafted songs around them… Yes, the arrangements are minimalist, but Osenga makes the most out of his self-imposed limitations. He also maintains quality standards by recording at Jars of Clay’s studio. But oh what songwriting! He’s both clever and concise in his storytelling and imagery, often tapping into spiritual truths. The fact that he demonstrates all this in response to fan suggestions only makes it more impressive.

The songs are considerably shorter this time, half of them less than 3 minutes. But the truth is that Osenga says much more in these 17 minutes than most Christian artists do in an entire album.

And did I mention that the album is free? Go to Andrew’s site to download it now.
