Evening:Morning is the first studio album by contemporary worship music band The Digital Age, which was released on August 13, 2013 by the Fair Trade Services record label, and it was produced by every member of the band along with Seth Mosley. The album has achieved charting commercial successes and critical acclamation.
On August 13, 2013, the album was released by Fair Trade Services. The Digital Age produced this album with Seth Mosley.
At HM, Sarah Brehm wrote that the album was "proof that worship music doesn't have to be generically simple; it can be fascinatingly enthralling and emotional." Jesus Freak Hideout's Mark Rice stated that musically the release "may not be on par with the crowning achievements of the DC*B, but I love how they are attempting to carve out their own niche in the industry separate from their former band's namesake rather than continue in the same musical vein." At New Release Tuesday, Marcus Hathcock told that the band "leveraged the simplicity of Dodson's voice and paired it with Waldrop's higher tones to create an ethereal, haunting, choral sound throughout the album." Matthew Reamus at All About Worship said that the band "continues the electronic rock feel of the David Crowder*Band while experimenting with new concepts." However, Cross Rhythms' Elliot Rose noted that "Although the atmospheric arrangements are pleasant on the ears, few of the songs stand out, and it seems to take a long time to get through the 12 tracks."
Jeremy Armstrong of Worship Leader said that "With an eclectic musical approach one part Americana-rock with the driving kick, one part ambient-electronica with its washes of digital ash, and one part guitar-driven punk-pop rock,, The Digital Age keeps the standard they waved for over a decade when the quartet made up all but two members of David Crowder*Band" At Indie Vision Music, Jonathan Andre wrote that "With such an atmosphere that brings together lovers of music from all sides of the musical genre spectrum, there is something for everyone, from songs with reflective worship, to others melodies that include sections of screamo and others that offer up great and powerful ballads." Calvin Moore of The Christian Manifesto wrote that the album has a "stubborn refusal to settle into any sort of musical groove", and noted how they are a "vocally challenged band that is going to have to struggle hard against sounding like every other band that’s been trying to copy them for so many years."
