Editor's note

LaRue's folk harmonies and quiet faith

Siblings Matt and Kerri Johnson formed this band in 2002, building songs around themes of belief and longing.

If you want to hear their sound, start with 'Theory Of Flight' or 'Everything.' They're the kind of songs that settle in slowly.

Their music never shouts. Songs like 'Theory Of Flight' and 'Everything' work with quiet harmonies and folk textures to explore faith that includes doubt. That 2015 single 'Crazy Love' drew criticism from some conservative listeners for exactly that reason, it felt too honest about uncertainty.

They started with 'My Beautiful' in 2004 and kept releasing albums like 'Reach' and 'Backseat' through the 2000s. After drummer Kurt Skutskowsky died in a 2010 car accident, they continued, putting out 'Altitude' in 2014 and '10' in 2017.

They released several albums over the next decade, including 'Reach' in 2006, 'Backseat' in 2008, and 'Bare Bones' in 2011. The band faced a difficult period in 2010 when drummer Kurt Skutskowsky died in a car accident. They continued, putting out 'Altitude' in 2014 and '10' in 2017.
