The last time we heard from Gospel Music (Owen Holmes, bassist of Black Kids) on 2010's duettes EP,Owen Holmes was collaborating with members of The Magnetic Fields, Camera Obscura and other likeminded artists, creating a sound critics compared to Jonathan Richman, Silver Jews and The Vaselines. On How To Get To Heaven From Jacksonville, FL, he further develops his homespun lo-fi, layering toy piano, organ and banjo over jangly guitars, bouncy basslines and minimalist drums. His playful, conversational baritone sits squarely between that of David Berman and Lou Reed, while lots of syrupy female vocals, this time from his Jacksonville friend Madeline Long, provide the perfect foil. Holmes made the record at home in Jacksonville and recruited Charles Newman (Stephin Merritt's engineer) for mixing. How To Get To Heaven From Jacksonville, FL is set to be released on Oct. 25. That's also when Holmes takes the Gospel on the road, with Long and a similarly good-looking backing band in tow. God bless Gospel Music.

Surprisingly enjoyable yet simple
Don't get me wrong, this is not going to win any Grammy's. It's a mellow light and airy collection of songs that are really easy to listen to and cross the folk/country borders, it's not at all gospel music! . Whilst the songwriting is simple it still brings a smile to my face. I discovered this album through a streaming music service and it was one of my most listened last year. With humerus lyrics and music that my girlfriend describes as plinky plonky, this is the perfect easy listening cocktail! Loved it! Download it now, you will not be disappointed!
