Christian music has a lot of issues, not the least of which is the fact that it distinguishes itself as "Christian" in the first place. The religious tag implies that any music that doesn't go out of its way to actively identify itself as such must necessarily be opposed to Christianity or is, to use the much-abused word, "secular"...

In each of Gungor's last three albums, they have been commended for flexing their artistic muscles a little bit more than the previous effort before it. The latest of those efforts, 2011's Ghosts Upon The Earth was a beautiful and lyrically deep melancholy conglomeration of folk and alt rock that proved to be one of the year's highlights, even snagging a GRAMMY nomination. But even that was not enough. Never a group to settle, Michael and Lisa Gungor & co...

For a band like Gungor -- named for married couple and songwriting team Michael and Lisa Gungor -- comparisons to Sufjan Stevens are probably inevitable. Michael's gentle croon bears a fairly strong resemblance to Stevens' own vocals, for one, while their ornate arrangements have a similar chamber-pop feel...

Artist: Gungor Title: I Am Mountain Label: Hither and Yon Records Release Date: 9/24/13 Reviewer: Ian Zandi Tracklisting: Variety can be a funny thing. You see, for some reason or another we have put expectations out that all albums should be consistent (but not too consistent). My counterpoint against this involves The Beatles. They gave us some of the best albums ever made including The White Album and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band...

Buy 'A Creation Liturgy (Live)' at: The purest inside of me jumped with glee when I read the words of frontman Michael Gungor saying about his latest live album, "I felt like I needed to let the recordings stay as live and authentic as possible. So we made a rule: no overdubs." This is how talented rock/worship band Gungor wanted their latest live album A Creation Liturgy to be heard...

In C.S. Lewis' famous novel The Great Divorce, travelers on a bus are introduced to the meadows of heaven. As the people in the story are revealed to be ghosts, the land proves to be far more solid than the travelers' bodies, and the realities of God and heaven are painfully real to these ghosts as they travel the landscape, both physically and mentally...

Denver based foursome Gungor were better known as The Michael Gungor Band until late last year, when they decided to change their name to simply Gungor. "I don't want this band to simply be about me", explained front man Michael Gungor, who has also co-penned songs 'Friend of God' and the Dove Award-winning 'Say So' with Israel Houghton...

Confession: I'm not a big fan of worship music, or at least the sound and style that's come to be associated with it. But there are some albums, like Glo by delirious or A Collision by David Crowder Band, that I'll never forget hearing for the first time, albums that challenged my assumptions and reinvented all I thought the praise style could be...
