I’m always looking for a new artist with a fresh sound, especially one that could spark the Christian music scene. A friend of mine (thanks Ed!) just turned me on to a group called The Arrows, hailing from South Africa. Never heard of them? No worries, neither had I until the other day . That’s because they’re only starting to make some waves on the indie circuit here in America. I could make comparisons to Feist, Ingrid Michaelson, and other quirky indie stalwarts with jazzy undertones, but frankly I think this is so much better. Maybe you’d best just hear them for yourselves in this fan-made YouTube video for their 6-minute song, “In the Words of Satan”—clever stuff, reminiscent of C.S. Lewis’s Screwtape Letters. (And yes, the duo has other faith-inspired songs—look for a review soon.) Video after the jump.

 

I’d love to know what you all think, so please post your comments below!
