(Consequences of Sound) - "The Life of the World to Come"
(Amazon.com: http://xrl.us/LifeWorld ) takes its title from
the closing words of Christianity�s Nicene Creed (�We look
for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world
to come�). Each track in the 12-song cycle takes its name
from a biblical verse that either inspired it, or relates
to the song in some way. The album is a response to losses
experienced by singer-songwriter John Darnielle in the two
year prior to its release. A press release accompanying the
album notes, �John started � turning to old religious texts
� and trying to take comfort in creeds and prayers he can�t
wholly buy into�..
