Soul Junk is what happened when Glen from Trumans Water found God.
Named after various post war years and released on a mix of formats, its records consist of Biblical passages and other food for the soul arranged in an inimitable, shambling, rock-funk-folk idiom.

With a CD clocking in at over 70 minutes, plus a companion LP with the same title but completely different contents, this latest release can fairly be called the Soul Junk catechism.
It is the band's most diverse and musically adventurous record yet, with each item of good news embodied in a brief song and given a bass driven rhythm to match. "In Your Sanctuary" expresses the awesomeness of God's presence to a lead heavy, Sabbath groove. The yodeling rap "Sweet To My Soul" is an extended shout out to Jesus that would please the hearts of lapsed Run-DMC fans. Even jazz flavored instrumentals like "In The Sea Through Raincoats" seem divinely inspired in their sheer flipped outness. With the homemade feel of early Beastie Boys and the twisted instrumenal ingenuity of Trumans Water, Soul Junk has got to be the exact definition of a joyful noise.
