The Televangelist and The Architect
There’s A Song InThere Somewhere
Cambridge, MA
Recorded and mixed in a basement in Cambridge, MA | Mastered by Doug Van Sloun at Focus Mastering in Omaha, NE

Often times we find ourselves stressed out after a long day, and it’s nice to just relax and allow yourself a few good moments to rest and let life rush past you as you live in the now. The Televangelist and The Architect must have had this in mind when they recorded their album There’s A Song In There Somewhere because it may as well be the soundtrack to your moment of rest and reflection.

The album opens with “...in the Blizzard” which begins with a piano intro with soft vocals, soon followed by the accompaniment of female vocals that lace the track with grace. The verses turn into a piano bridge that make it all the more satisfying to listen to, just for the sake of listening.

The next three songs all revolve around acoustic guitar, with aid from drums in the first two, and all are heartfelt as the lyrics feel as though they mean something and are coming from somewhere very special. “...by the Pond” feels especially anecdotal and personal, making it a stand-out track of the entire album.

Most of the album feels very downtrodden instrumentally. The closing title track has a very bouncy piano to it and a nostalgic feeling that takes the listener back through the entire album, almost as though they are re-living it, fading out into the distance of what is to come and what is remembered. There’s A Song In There Somewhere is an ambient album that allows you to think and truly live through the music, not feeling rushed or pushed into a certain sound but rather just feeling it naturally.
