Worship band Leeland made waves in 2006 when the group released their first national album, Sound of Melodies, via Essential Records/Provident Music.
The band has undergone many member changes in recent years and had parted ways with their label home, but the now-duo has announced a partnership with Bethel Music, reuniting them with Provident Music in the process.
Yesterday, the band announced, “We are SO EXCITED to announce… We are now a part of the @bethelmusic artist collective! http://bethelmusic.com/artists/leeland So excited for the what God is going to do in this new season! / time to finish up writing and start recording a new record! #Leeland #bethelmusic #bethel”
It looks like fans can expect a new album from Leeland Mooring and Casey Moore within the next few months. This will be the group’s first studio release since The Great Awakening in 2011. They independently released a live EP last year, titled Live: Christ Be All Around Me EP.
