The Access – The Time Has Come
As my final review for the end of a decade I’ll revisit a missed worship album that deserves attention.

The Access do their part in making music that stands out from their contemporaries.

Frank Schweikhardt – Life But No More
Frank Schweikhardt fits perfectly on the XRA roster, bringing a slow and minimalist acoustic sound that melds perfectly with his soft baritone. It’s like a stripped down Iron & Wine and a solo Husband&Wife mixed with a non-Cynical David Bazan.
