Christianity and the Backrooms

Psychodrama, Liminality, and the Collapse of Interior Space W alllpaper.com ,  The New York Times ,  Psychology Today  — countless outlets reviewing  Backrooms  reach for the same word: liminal. Everyone calls it a movie about liminal spaces. And of course it's true. But it's an oversimplification. The film's real achievement isn't that it embraces the liminal aesthetic, its inherent anxieties, its reality. Rather, the film subtly  relocates  liminality.

The Lights Are On

  The site is live. Not officially — not yet. But if you're reading this, you've found it: the beta version of ClaimTheWord.com, currently parked at claimtheword.github.io while the real address finishes its paperwork. What's here: music, a shop, a mission statement, and this blog. What's coming: the same things, at an simpler URL, within the next four to six weeks. In the meantime, keep your eyes out for the manifestation of what's not here yet: the Resources page! Hopefully on a faster timetable than the official launch, visitor's will have access to many many cost-free resources like praise and worship back tracks, sheet music, and midi data. One-thousand thank yous, Kai
