Dove Award-nominated worshipers Rend Collective Experiment released their fourth and highly anticipated album, The Art of Celebration, globally from Integrity Music March 17. To help promote the release, Christian radio station K-LOVE, offered the worldwide premiere of the first video from the new recording, "My Lighthouse."

The lead single, "My Lighthouse," is being offered as an "instant grat track" download from iTunes beginning Feb. 18 with each pre-order of The Art of Celebration. Devotionals for the song will also be created for both YouVersion and BibleGateway.

"Celebration, the practice of joy, is a choice," said Rend Collective bandleader Gareth Gilkeson. "That doesn't mean it's always an easy choice to make. We know that we inevitably must navigate storms of sorrow and shadows, disappointment and doubt in this life."

For the new album, the band stated in their press release that a recent theological breakthrough they had is changing everything about their approach to music and life: seriousness is not a fruit of the spirit, but joy is. Their enlightenment led to a sonically revolutionary message on The Art of Celebration.

"This record is an attempt to reflect something of the irrepressible laughter in the heart of God," continues Gareth. "It's a call to the cynical to once again choose celebration over condemnation and a reminder to the broken that 'the joy of the Lord is our strength.'"

In addition to the digital and CD release, The Art of Celebration will be offered as a limited edition, double-album vinyl to be available at select retailers, as well as through IntegrityDirect.com and at Rend events.
