CHRISTMAS OUT AT SEA - CD (SCYTHIAN & FRIENDS)
"Christmas Out at Sea" by SCYTHIAN

- seeking to keep Christ in Christmas with a unique maritime take on traditional Christmas Carols –

Review from CNA (Catholic News Agency)

SCYTHIAN'S maratime take on Christmas was inspired by the shepherds of Jesus' time. Similar to the shepherds, sailors were often seen as the unwanted of society and this "outcast" character shines a light on the true state of affairs. To quote GK Chesterton in reference to original sin - "we're all in the same boat and we're all seasick." We're all in need of a savior. Harkening back to ancient carols, sung with manly voices, SCYTHIAN hopes to create a space that lets the true power and theology of the hymns affect the listener. In an age of polished crooners which focus on the "feel-good" of Christmas, they hope this album brings renewed appreciation for a season which points towards our need for a savior and the gratitude which comes from being saved while lost at sea.

SCYTHIAN has closed out the main stage at World Youth Day Sydney, played for the US President on St. Patrick's Day and are a crowd favorite at festivals across the nation. They're known for the infectious joy which gets everyone dancing and you don't have to dig far to discover the source of this joy.

Products of large Catholic families, the members of SCYTHIAN have churned out 16 albums over the years and their latest is - a Christmas Album! Christmas Out at Sea is a story which draws the listener through the ups and downs of Advent into Christmas joy!

Would be great to start on Christmas 2024 straight away. This is the album I am most proud of and I really hope it gets widespread attention since the content is, well, out of this world! (Ha!) - Danylo Fedoryka
