Acclaimed Rock ActÆs Second Album Hits Stores August 19; Digital
Single Out July 8
(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) July 1, 2008 û Following the critical and
commercial success of its 2007 debut, Even Heroes Need a
Parachute, Ohio rock band This Beautiful Republic returns August
19 with Perceptions, a new ForeFront Records/EMI album that
clearly showcases the actÆs increasing creative and spiritual
strengths.? ?Lead singer Ben Olin explains, ôThe title deals with
the idea that there are at least two sides to every story. Things
inevitably appear different to each individual based on their
experiences, predispositions, prejudices, or vantage point. When
we understand thisùthat what we see may not be the whole truthùwe
arrive where grace and love prevail.ö??A sneak preview of
Perceptions begins with the July 8 release ôLearning to Fall,ö a
three-track digital-only single for just ninety-nine cents that
also includes two previous live tracks.??Perceptions is an effort
that decidedly goes to the extremes of modern rock and timeless
worship. It was produced by Allen Salmon (Mute Math) and comes in
the storied wake of This Beautiful RepublicÆs first two years of
touring together as a major label act.
