There are probably a lot of you familiar with Michael Gungor and his music, you just don’t know it yet.  Michael toured with Acquire the Fire a few years back and became well known for his worship songs “Battle Cry”, “Wrap Me in Your Arms, “Friend of God”, and the like.  He has recently changed his band’s name from “Michael Gungor Band” to simply “Gungor”.  With it comes a new and refined sound and creativity that I am absolutely digging.  The creativity and musicianship is excellent; I cannot get enough.  Here’s a taste of their newest release, “Beautiful Things”, that was released earlier this year.

This week, people started asking me, “Who is that singing/playing that last song in Zion’s ‘first day video’ [shared here on my personal site] ?”  That’s when I realized that I wanted more people to experience Gungor.  Here’s a beautiful acoustic version of their title song, “Beautiful Things”…

Lastly, Gungor plays “The Earth is Yours” live and in the forest. Love it!

Dare I say Gungor’s “Beautiful Things” might be my favorite album of the moment? I think it might be! Go check ‘em out on their [official web site] and snag yourself some awesome music now!

Ran across a few cool music videos I wanted to share.  First up, “End Love” by the always creative and fun-to-watch guys from OK Go… Paper Tongues is a fairly new band that just released their debut album this March.  Check ‘em out more at their [official site] and listen to “Trinity”… [video enclosure]
