Calum Builder - Messe (You are where you need to be) September 24, 2021 ILK Music

This album came about as I reconciled with the deconstruction of my faith. This work is dedicated to those who are also in between worlds or have not known where they belong or what they believe. It can be quite disorientating. However, I have become increasingly aware that in this life to have true faith is not to be resolute, but to sit in the tension of it all and watch the mystery unfold. It’s an openhanded faith, honest and broken — and therein is where the beauty lies.
