Simple songwriting and honest vocals, immersed within catchy arrangements, are the substance of Commas Come First, the first full-length solo album from Koo Chung. Formerly frontman of the band Broken For Good, Koo recently embarked on making his own record. Producer Mitch Dane (Randall Goodgame) and Sputnik Studios (owned by Jars of Clay), both integral to the creative process, helped Koo succeed in creating a versatile yet timeless sound that draws the listener in. His songwriting is uncomplicated and introspective, and the themes through the album reveal a young man grasping for faith in God and love. Musical appearances include Steve Mason and Aaron Sands of Jars of Clay, as well as Matt Slocum (Sixpence None The Richer), Andrew Peterson, and Gabe Scott. Other notable performances include stellar drumming from J. Mark Stanley and Paul Rhee, as well as background vocals by Dave Lee, all three longtime friends of Koo. Potential new listeners will relate Commas Come First to the sound of Andrew Peterson or Bebo Norman with a slight pop flavor. For a taste, try Track 9, Mercy's Door, about finding God's mercy amidst loneliness in sin, or Track 3, Samuel, a delightful and whimsical instrumental that demonstrates Koo's guitar craftsmanship.
