Following their Grammy-nominated debut album, Christian band Leeland has announced their sophomore studio release, Opposite Way.
"Opposite Way is a call to our generation to passionately walk the 'Opposite Way' of the world; that it's ok to live the Christian life and be on fire for God, even if it makes us look different," said frontman Leeland Mooring.
"We want to encourage, inspire and raise up a new generation of worshippers."
Produced by Matt Bronleewe (Michael W. Smith, Natalie Imbruglia) and mixed by Ben Grosse (Ben Folds, Red Hot Chili Peppers), the project was recorded in Tennessee at Smoak Stack Studios and Pentavarit Studios.
"I've never seen a band with as much raw energy and God-given talent as Leeland," shared Opposite Way producer Matt Bronleewe.
"Leeland is the kind of band you dream about working with: the guys are innocently passionate about their message, and intensely persuasive in their delivery.
"In every sense, their new album, Opposite Way, is the direction music needs to be going in."
Progressive rock band Leeland collected its first Grammy nomination last year for their debut Sound of Melodies in the category of Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album.
