SAVED!

by Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter

SAVED! cover art

Marking Kristin Hayter's debut as Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter after retiring her Lingua Ignota project, 'SAVED!' presents a harrowing yet earnest attempt at salvation through the lens of Pentecostal Christianity. The album's sound is constructed from sparse arrangements of vocals and prepared piano, with Hayter and producer Seth Manchester intentionally degrading the high-fidelity recordings by processing them through broken cassette players to create a warped, haunted, and timeless quality. This production serves a thematic purpose, framing a collection of traditional hymns and original compositions that explore the nonlinear process of healing, with Hayter's famously anguished vocal delivery capturing a state between hope-feigning euphoria and hellish torment.
