Young Oceans, The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus, & The Radical Purposes of Worship and Music

As Young Oceans, Eric Marshall has been crafting thoughtful,
artful, often liturgical music for over a decade. That makes him
an “elder statesman” (or at least a mentor and role model) to
many of the young, passionate, alternative worship artists in the
trenches today. But his story goes back much farther than that.
Through his early, and often frustrating days as a guitarist in a
rock band, to several years signed to a failed mainstream pop
development deal, to years working in the New York indie rock
scene, Marshall developed a musical language, and a particular
set of skills, that came into perfect alignment when the vision
for Young Oceans emerged. On this episode, we will hear all about
Eric Marshall’s challenging journey, as well as the valuable
lessons, maturity, and wisdom it has given him. We’ll dig deep
into some of the most daunting questions facing sacred artists
today. On the Jukebox, we’ll listen to one of the most
fascinating, experimental, genre-defying sacred music groups of
the last half-century as we revisit the musical catalog of The
Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus.


Worship and the pursuit of sacred beauty is a radical endeavor
that has been producing challenging art for a long time. We take
a deep look at the nature and purpose of art, music, and worship,
on this episode of the True Tunes Podcast.
