“What am I to build, if my hands are broken, if I’m not the chosen one?” sings Steven McKellar of Civil Twilight on “Story of An Immigrant”, over a lush, dynamic beat that evokes the sounds of his native South Africa while steeped in the band’s everevolving present. The foursome (Steven, his brother and guitarist Andrew, drummer Richard Wouters and Kevin Dailey on keys and guitar) are living proof of what happens when you stop worrying about being the chosen one and make music built on both the roots that grew you and the love that keeps you thriving every day. Civil Twilight’s songs embrace every corner of human emotion, balancing delicate, poetic lyrics with sweeping arrangements that touch all the senses: a phrase to make you think; a rolling drumbeat you can feel in your bones; a guitar vamp as illustrative as a picture; a shimmer of keys whose light can nearly be seen and heard. Produced by Ben H. Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Bombay Bicycle Club, Cut Copy), their third record on Wind-Up is built on this vibrancy, on the permanent dust of a Cape Town youth; on the connection that unites them all as brothers beyond blood and on their new home in America where they pull from the innate, thriving musicianship of Nashville, where they live. When you listen to Civil Twilight, from their self-titled debut, to 2012’s widely lauded Holy Weather to now, it’s easy to understand why the band has topped five million YouTube views and reached historic success with film and television syncs – because it’s music you can’t shake, that translates experience into moments and creates melodies that become imbedded deep under the skin. We’re all immigrants, in some way, and Civil Twilight’s singing our national anthem.

New album 'The Phantom Five' out August 30.

Hello world. My name is William Alexander Kunick and I am a christian rapper from nj. I'm trying to share the joy of god with everyone as well as getting my music out there. It would mean everything to me if you would kindly take the time outta your day to check my stuff out. The most important thing I'm trying to do is getting people to re-post my music. In return anyone that promotes me I will promote them, give them likes, comment them, and finally you can download all my songs free. God loves us all and music is a true gift from the holy father. My music is christian based meaning it talks about the real issue's of life. God is good. God is always good 100 percent of the time. God was the one to put my fragile life back together when I was whimpering. God is true unconditional love and the love I have for my music I show to all you wonderful people. You guys truly are awesome and I love making new friends on here. If anyone wants to do a collab I'm all game. I want to be a great asset to your musical endeavors. Hope we can all be friends. It's a honor to meet you all.
