Louder Than The Music

Acoustic duo Shane & Shane will release their seventh studio project 'Everything Is Different' on 3rd November. The album's debut single 'My Hope Is Built' will be released to radio on 6th November. The song, a modern take on a classic hymn, was originally written and recorded for a CD the twosome is producing and engineering for its church.

With contributions by star producers Peter Kipley (Mercy Me, Kutless) and Jason Hoard (Fee) as well as audio engineering legend Steve Churchyard (The Eagles, INXS, Kelly Clarkson), 'Everything Is Different' was recorded both in San Diego and Dallas. Heavily influenced by Shane & Shane's role as worship leaders at their home church in Red Oak, Texas, the album's content is Scripture-focused, while its style and sound are worshipful in nature.

Also unique to 'Everything Is Different', Shane & Shane recorded most of the album live, tracking all of the basic instrumentation simultaneously. "We set up some mics on the acoustic guitars and the drums and just played," describes Shane Everett. "We did very little editing, and we loved not just the process but the feel of the record." The duo also engineered the bulk of the project at their own Spaceway Studios.

"In essence the record has our hands all over it and is truly an expression of our heart," says Shane Everett. "Our hope is that people are blessed by our efforts and that the spirit of the Lord moves hearts to love Him more. If that happens, it is a miracle"because when lives are changed by Jesus, everything is different."
