Time to open up the evening hymnal again.  After glossing over this band for entirely too long, and posting their video for Family Tree only yesterday, there seems to be a conspiracy afoot to keep Toronto band Evening Hymns in the forefront of our musical minds.  Today the band pointed to a new video directed by Neil Haverty for their song Spirit in the Sky off of their haunted and haunting Spectral Dusk album.  According to the band, the album “is a study of loss, pain, and hope and a pathway drawn out of the dark into the light. Spectral Dusk finds Jonas Bonnetta dealing, through music, with the loss of his father three years ago.”  Let the record and video show you below.  Bonneta recently had this to say about Spirit in the Sky:  “This song was written as an intro into ‘Irving Lake Access Road’. I wrote a big list of things I related to Dad. Images of us as kids playing with him. Swimming, hiking, fishing. Just meditated on my youth with brothers. The idea was for the song to be dreamlike and have the long string piece wash in and take it away. To carry it out to sea.”  It’ll carry you away if you’re not careful.
