Praise for Lancaster Transit's debut album, "Aliens and Strangers":

"Why Lancaster Transit hasn't been signed to Tooth & Nail Records yet is a mystery...This is some of the most fetching indie rock since the heyday of The Sundays." - CDReviews.com

"Just about everything is lovely on 'Aliens and Strangers,' the perfect summer disc." - Whisperin and Hollerin

"The group also flirts with trip-hop and drum and bass textures, producing a modern folk rock that is delicious to the ear..." - Shotgun Reviews

"[Lancaster Transit is] a Christian electronica/pop duo reminiscent of Imogen Heap and The Postal Service. From folk songs to dance music, from complex orchestral arrangements to pop singles, their debut album Aliens and Strangers has it all." - CDBaby.com

Their debut full-length album, "Aliens and Strangers", is on iTunes, CD Baby, and Snocap, so pick one up today!

Combine the electronica/trip-hop styles of Frou Frou and The Postal Service, the soft piano and guitar motifs of Death Cab for Cutie, complex, layered vocal sections with soaring harmonies, and intimate folk sensibility and you have Lancaster Transit, a duo born out of the frustration of the static state of the Christian music industry. Melissa Lancaster, the producer and vocalist, creates vocals reminiscent of Imogen Heap with words of hope in a dismal world. Zach Gannon, the instrumental half of LT, creates fusions of folk, trip-hop, orchestra, pop, and electronica which mesh to form truly unique songs. Both write the lyrics and melodies together, forging a sound comprised of both members, not led by a frontman (or woman in this case).

Their new album, "A Point With No Edges: A Series of Short Songs", takes a bold step in a new direction. "APWNE" consists of 18 songs crafted in a manner similar to haiku poetry; short, but packed full of musical experiments and complex, playful lyricism.

"A Point With No Edges" is out now, available on CDBaby.com, LT's PayPal Shop, and (in a few weeks) iTunes.

Hey, I'm so glad to find you guys. I am always looking for new, artistically different music to listen to, but it is very hard to find in Christian music. Thanks for your desire to expand Christ's message to the world in new and exciting ways.

BTW, I love Imogen Heap too.

Best of luck...

Thanks for the add!

Grace to you and peace from GOD our Father and the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

To the only GOD our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

Jeremiah 29:11-14
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD.

hey thanks guys. Would love to play a show at some point. Maybe this summer? I probably won't be able to keep in touch in the next few days because the youtube vid is flooding my inbox. But in a week or two it will calm down and I'll be able to keep up. Looking forward to the show.
