15 of 15

#15. Esterlyn
Love

Release Date: August 19, 2014

Esterlyn in an odd case because their roster and sound keep changing. Lamps and Mending the Meaning were both remarkable in their own right, but the worship pop records Call Out and Woven were far less so. Love could continue this trend, or do something completely different; with such a pronounced range of work, who knows?
- Roger Gelwicks

After years of searching, Esterlyn seems to have finally found what they've been looking for. Formed in 2001 as Grand Prize, the band has taken a number of different stylistic turns over the years before settling on their current pop worship sound with the 2012 release of Woven. Now, two years later, they return with what is sure to be another memorable chapter in their colorful career.
- John "Flip" Choquette

Although I'm still waiting for a another indie rock album like Lamps, there's no denying Esterlyn is still one of the better worship artists around, and Luke Caldwell is a fine song writer.
- Nathaniel Schexnayder

Esterlyn are real deal artists. Nearly everything they put out is intentional and they do it with excellence. I'm pretty stoked about these guys!
- Ryan Barbee
