The most refreshing aspect of this EP is the inspiration behind the lyrics: Nehemiah and the Israelite rebuilding of the temple during exile. Lines like "Nehemiah worked…/Repairing holes in sinner's hearts and homes" make for a more thoughtful listen than typical worship fare, and this vein runs noticeably throughout each of the songs. Still, many of the verses rest in phrases that have been used tirelessly by Ball's worship contemporaries (“Heal this broken heart/Heal this broken life” on “Rebuild,” for example). There's definitely potential for FoldingLights to grow into something more sonically united and adventurous. Ball's soothing vocal approach is worth hearing, but it's understandable if most of the runtime will cause Exiles to be quickly forgotten.
