Translucent is Grammy nominated band The Choir’s new ambient instrumental album, a shimmering tapestry of sound that captures the essence of mood and serenity. Across 10 atmospheric tracks, the band weaves effect-laden guitars, evocative saxophone, lyricon and wind synthesizers along with electronic rhythms and percussion into a true legacy project – a career triumph.

Fire In The Heavens

Explosions In The Sky-esque rock instrumental.

Chasing Mountains

Clean guitars with lots of reverb and delay create an open and airy feel to this progressive rock music track. Later on, the piece builds with drums, more guitars and bass to a powerful and emotive climax. Aspirational, inspirational, hope/hopeful, emotional.

Инструментальный EP "Баланс" (3 трека, дата выхода: 30 мая) – это концептуальное музыкальное путешествие. Композиции "Одержимость", "Выгорание" и "Баланс" последовательно рассказывают историю эмоционального пути: от всепоглощающей страсти к своему делу через кризис и выгорание к обретению внутренней гармонии. Релиз представляет обновленное, более качественное и глубокое звучание (ремастеринг/пересведение) этих композиций, объединенных в единую историю.

This 3-track EP ("Obsession," "Burnout," and "Balance") is a conceptual musical journey. It sequentially tells an emotional story: from the all-consuming passion for one's craft, through crisis and burnout, to finding inner harmony. The release features an updated, higher-quality, and deeper sound (remastered/re-mixed) of these compositions, now united in a single narrative.

For over four decades, The Choir, originally from Los Angeles and now based in Nashville, has been a cornerstone of the indie rock and alternative music scenes, crafting songs that blend atmospheric soundscapes with poetic lyrics and heartfelt spirituality. With a distinctive style marked by Derri Daugherty’s ethereal guitar work and hauntingly emotive voice, Steve Hindalong’s reflective and poignant lyrics, and Dan Michaels’ evocative saxophone, lyricon, and wind synthesizer playing, The Choir has cultivated a sound that is as innovative as it is timeless. Their music transcends genres, resonating deeply with fans who have remained fiercely loyal through the years.

Emerging in the early 1980s, The Choir quickly gained a reputation for their lush, ambient sound and contemplative songwriting. Albums like Chase the Kangaroo (1988) and Circle Slide (1990) established the band as pioneers in the alternative Christian music landscape. These records, now considered classics, showcase the band’s ability to balance raw emotion with intricate, atmospheric instrumentation. Songs such as "About Love" and "Consider" captured the hearts of listeners with their honest explorations of love, doubt, and faith.

Throughout the 1990s, The Choir continued to evolve, releasing critically acclaimed albums like Free Flying Soul (1996), which featured a more upbeat and textured sound, and Flap Your Wings (2000), a Grammy-nominated album celebrated for its soulful beauty and melodic richness. Each project demonstrated the band’s commitment to pushing creative boundaries while staying true to their core themes of vulnerability and spiritual exploration.

In recent years, The Choir has embraced a do-it-yourself ethos, connecting directly with their audience through platforms like Patreon. This intimate approach has allowed the band to release new music consistently, including standout albums like Bloodshot (2018) and Deep Cuts (2021), which continue to resonate with their ever-loyal fanbase. In 2024, The Choir unveiled Translucent, an instrumental ambient album blending Daugherty’s shimmering guitars, Hindalong’s electronic percussion, and Michaels’ atmospheric wind instrumentation. This late-career triumph was hailed as a moody and serene masterpiece, reflecting the band’s ability to innovate while staying grounded in their signature sound.

The Choir’s lyrical depth has always been a defining feature. Steve Hindalong’s words delve into themes of faith, doubt, relationships, and redemption, offering a raw and relatable perspective that has struck a chord with listeners for decades. Paired with Daugherty’s soaring, emotional vocals, the lyrics create moments of profound connection. Michaels’ contributions on saxophone and lyricon add a layer of sophistication and texture, setting The Choir apart from other bands in the genre.

Beyond their music, The Choir’s enduring friendship and brotherhood are central to their identity. Despite personal struggles and professional challenges, the band has remained a cohesive unit, drawing strength from their shared history and their close relationship with fans, affectionately referred to as their "tribe." This bond has been a source of inspiration for both the band and their audience, a testament to the healing power of music and community.

The Choir’s influence extends beyond their own catalog. Steve Hindalong’s production work, including the new Sixpence None The Richer EP released in 2024, and Dan Michaels’ efforts in helping other artists during his tenure as a marketing executive at Fair Trade Services, working with acclaimed acts such as MercyMe, Sara Groves, The Afters, and CeCe Winans, demonstrate the band’s broader impact on the music world. Their collaborative spirit and dedication to excellence continue to inspire both peers and fans alike.

As The Choir continues to write and record, their legacy remains one of artistic courage, spiritual depth, and unwavering connection with their listeners. With a catalog that includes iconic songs like “Beautiful Scandalous Night” and recent highlights like Translucent, The Choir proves that their creative journey is far from over. Whether through their groundbreaking albums, heartfelt performances, or the intimate connection they share with their fans, The Choir remains a beacon of authenticity and artistry in a changing musical landscape.

My aim with (neo)- psychedelia
Is to be free of formal song structures. 
To allow emotions, both dark and light, to express themselves and reveal deeper images and messages from the subconscious and from soul. (Soul inspired music btw is not always pretty and polite)
I like to create atmospheres in which to hang out for a time
No barriers so I can then hybridise with other genres
I'm open to everything from Bach to Billy Idol (excepting Strauss waltzes and fairground organs... however I'm open to persuasion)
Hopefully to surprise and to disorientate. To use minimalist repeating phrases which build and give a hypnotic vibe or groove
Psychedelia teaches us that there is no rush, it's not the end that matters it's the process of getting there, that is my true goal
But I also bear in mind the imperative to be relevant 
The late 60's early 70's gave us so many great musical gifts (Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa etc the list is very long) and I for one am happy to keep unwrapping them
I highly value improvisation and jamming (but I have a no noodling policy). Instrumental music has a vocabulary of emotions with which I'm always mindful that there is a story encoded. 
I always record the first take as this is where magic, beyond the mind, can instantly emerge. An out of key, "mistake" is redefined as an accidental note or a borrowed chord a "surprise" and can liberate the piece from predictability. A degree of disharmony and musical tension are often necessary within a piece so that the subsequent release into harmony and joy is a highlighted sense of relief and spaciousness 
It's not so much about striving for technical perfection, it's about first and foremost serving the song.
I love that a piece can literally emerge from the tone of a single note, lightly asking "I wonder where this will take me?"
This keeps me guessing and ever curious 
In musical flow states, I am sometimes transcended into subtler realms of spirit. I've met some of my muses there... it can be very ecstatic 
Life on this planet, when observed for long enough, consists of periods of challenge leading to more settled blissful states... but one can only ever acknowledge these and keep on moving through, cycle after cycle.
Sometimes the pain and the bliss are simultaneous.
Psychedelia is here to remind us, usually with a mixture of compassion and gentle non insistent wisdom, that we are all equally valid and as important as one another.
The generation of this music doesn't require me to be in any specific state, prior to playing, in order to engage with it.

The wise man is one who knows what he does not know.
