Against the Flow

Contemporary Christian Alternative

     

The flow of our complicated world sometimes forces us to swim against its current as an expression of disagreement. It is a challenge for both young and old from all walks of life to find themselves in a happy society. Our faith in God can help us to survive and our hope of better life can lead us forward. These thoughts are the foundation of Kostya Leontovich's latest EP entitled "Against The Flow." This album emerges in a different way than Kostya’s previous EP and singles (A Christmas Song and Heavenly Atmosphere).

This talented musician began composing and recording his album in late February, and actually recorded it independently, playing almost all instruments. Kostya also acted as a sound producer for this release. During its development, Kostya experimented with a variety of options and sounds that surpassed expectations. How so? By recording this in his home-grown studio known as SoundSсript.

"Against The Flow" includes five original songs, which in the opinion of the artist are difficult to attribute to any particular style. The EP has turned out very different and even somewhat experimental with Christian themes mixed with alternative rock. The tracks of the album are full of effortless joy, and they are easy to listen to and enjoy. Kostya's superb sound and beautiful poetic English lyrics demonstrated that he is not only a great musician, but an musical innovator worth paying attention to. Kostya has truly picked up the torch as the new face of contemporary Christian music originating from the ancient Christian lands of Kievan Rus'.
