After the Chase is back with their sophomore album. Produced by Nate Sabin (Sara Groves, Jason Gray), recorded in Nashville, filled with a fierce beauty, "Make Me New" is their best album to date. A Review From BuddyHollywood.com (written by Mike Parker): This husband & wife team derive their stage name from an old southern saying, ‘He chased her until she caught him.’ After the Chase didn’t have to run very fast to catch me. Their sophomore indie album, Make Me New, is so full of hooks it is impossible not to bite. How many independent projects do you know that can boast players like Nate Sabin on guitar, Phil Madeira on B3, Steve Brewster on drums and percussions, John Catchings on cello, and background vocals by Staci Frenes? And as great as these artists are, they simply provide support for the fine artistry of Nathan and Jenna Strong. The songwriting is potent, the vocals rich and inviting, the musicianship tight. The opening cut, “Without Your Love,” sports a happy little 80’s vibe that meshes seamlessly with Nathan Strong’s warm and friendly lead vocals. The tune segues into the equally bouncy, “I’ll Be Your Fool,” which in turn eases into a gently rocking acoustic guitar ballad called, “Make Me New.” Jenna Strong takes over lead vocal chores on the more moody and emotion-laden, “In This Place,” a song she wrote. Jenna imbues the lyrics with an intimacy that is as striking as it is refreshing. She is equally vulnerable on her self-penned hymn of repentance, “Second Chance.” “It’s a second chance for the third time,” she laments. “Another ‘I forgive you’ that shouldn’t be mine.” Best cuts include “Shine” and the gutsy, seven-minute monster track, “No More.” Fans of Watermark, Judd & Maggie, Andrew Peterson, and JJ Heller will find a lot to like in the thoughtful lyrics and folk-pop sensibilities of After the Chase.
