It’s Off The Ground!
On behalf of Danielson, we at Sounds Familyre are delighted to share with you a very special piece of news. Lenny Smith and his lovely wife, Marian (father and mother of the Danielson Famile), together with Daniel and Elin Smith, the dynamic duo behind Sounds Familyre, have just launched a new record label called Great Comfort Records. Great Comfort seeks to extend the palette of modern sacred music, to hopefully provide more colors and hues to the rendering of our collective search for and experience of the divine. In short, Great Comfort Records exists to make sacred music for the invisible church.

Lenny, Marian, Elin, and Daniel are very pleased to announce Great Comfort Records’ inaugural release: ‘Come O Spirit!’ – Anthology of Hymns and Spiritual Songs Vol.1 by Bifrost Arts. It is a record that brings together an impressive cadre of uniquely gifted artists, including Dave Bazan, Damien Jurado, Rosie Thomas, Shara Warden (of My Brightest Diamond), J.Tillman (of Fleet Foxes), Laura Gibson, Denison Witmer, The Welcome Wagon (featuring Sufjan Stevens), Leigh Nash (of Sixpence None the Richer) and others, to revive four hundred years of long-forgotten melodies and liturgical music. ‘Come O Spirit!’ is remarkably winsome, singularly rich, and uncommonly beautiful, and it’s available here.
