Formed in Nashville and founded by Grammy Nominated producer and songwriter Steve Wilson (Leeland, Matt Maher, Hawk Nelson), the creative and redemptive unite in flesh and spirit to reflect the light that overcomes the darkness.

Lo-Fi Liturgy "Vampires EP" - Released: 12 December 2012 (Our Lady of Guadalupe) courtesy of MONKROCK. Lo-Fi Liturgy is a series of 21st century musical reflections that are firmly rooted in the tradition of the prophets, psalmists, troubadours, mystics and saints. The songs, like liturgical hymns, are prayers of praise (adoration), pleading on behalf of others (intercession) and complaint (lamentation). Yet, these songs are not intended for the sacred spaces of the Church’s sanctuary, choir or even one’s monastic cell, but simply to act as companions to contemplation in the desert, the wilderness, the stormy waters, and on the road to Emmaus.
