Starfield

The Saving One
Sparrow Records

Starfield does what a hundred swoop-banged boy bands in the officially canonized genre of worship rock are doing right now. They just happen to do it better — much better — than most.

That’s partly because of the behind-the-scene influence of CCM hit-maker Ian Eskelin but mostly because of their capacity both for palms-in-the-air praise symphonies (like the incredible opening title track “The Saving One” and “Rediscover You”) and fist-in-the-air ready-for-radio rock anthems (like “Declaration of Dependence”). 

To say that their latest studio project just builds on the momentum of 2008’s wave-making “I Will Go” almost does these 10 songs an injustice. Starfield has taken it to another level.
