The Story Behind the Record: "Bleach"


We're putting the final touches on the two singles we'll be releasing on 3-17-13.  As we finish those up and keep pressing in to the production of the "So Many Voices" record, we thought we'd give you a little insight into some of our previous works.  So, here's the first one...


The Story Behind the Record:
Bleach
Original Release: 5-6-2010, Re-Mixed and Re-Mastered: 1-1-2013
Words and Music by Sean and Becky Bennett
Copyright 2010 InToOne Music


InToOne's debut album, Bleach suggests that getting dirt on our hands is the only way to really live the truth. Following God with everything is hard. Bleach challenges some of the unfortunate lies and pretensions that run rampant in Christianity today. 

Sometimes, as the first song on the album suggests, what we need to be set free from most is our very self. "Lesser" dares us to take off our own masks and walk in someone else's shoes. (Click here to listen to the song on ReverbNation).  With edgy rhythms and guitar leads, songs like "Apostate", "No Excuses," and "Forgive Me Later" call out favoritism, hypocrisy, and lukewarm living. On the softer side, "All I Am," "Mercy Flows Down," and the album's title track, "Bleach" are songs of surrender, grace, and laying it all down.  More than anything, we need to take up our own crosses and follow in the footsteps of Jesus: "Nail Me to the Cross."



In our music, our production, and our lives, God has grown us so much since this first album.  Bleach will always have special meaning to us as the beginning of InToOne.


Bleach is available for purchase on iTunes.  Get it here.
