For his latest album, The Pilgrim, singer-songwriter Nate Currin tuned to an interesting piece of inspiration: writer John Bunyan’s The Pilrgim’s Process. Using Bunyan’s book for inspiration led to Nate crafting an 18-track concept album based partially on Bunyan’s story of a man leaving Earth for a celestial kingdom with a few of Nate’s own personal experiences thrown in. It’s a raw, uncompromising album from an artist working on his own terms.

Nate Currin’s The Pilgrim comes out on August 6^th via Archaic Cannon Records, but you can give the new album a first listen here exclusively through Elmore Magazine. Click “play” on the Soundcloud widget below to listen:
