Josh Garrels – ‘The Light Came Down’ album review

click to buy

If you’ve followed Josh Garrels’ catalog, then you’ll know the pendulum swung toward the intimate on his most recent, Home, after the dynamism of Love & War & The Sea In Between. On his new holiday album, The Light Came Down (buy), Garrels marries both for a wide sonic expanse for both original and classic Christmas songs. “Gloria” is Light’s spirited centerpiece, bolstered by choirs and brass, destined to become a crowd favorite. Classics like “O Holy Night” and “Silent Night” are given new life through Garrels’ thoughtful, beautiful arrangements. With a hefty 15 tracks, The Light Came Down is an unexpected gift for Garrels’ fans.
