Rend Collective + special guests - WEDI'I GANSLO
Ymhlith y trymder a’r tristwch sydd ben ar ddigwyddiadau’r oes sydd ohoni, yn ymateb i’n bywyd briw mae Rend Collective yn rhannu newydd da . Mae’r Rend Collective sy’n hanu o Iwerddon yn bwrw’n ôl at eu naws y gwreiddiau, heb ei hail – o’i tharddle sef Bangor, Iwerddon– yn eu chweched albwm stiwdio, Good News, a ryddheir Ionawr 19.
Dan yr enw “Purveyors of Good News”, mae Rend Collective yn powlio mynd ar hyd ffordd dilysrwydd, a Chanu’r Hwyl syml, hen ffasiwn. Heb ddolen gyswllt nac â diwydiant na fformiwla, mae pob cân o Good News ynghlwm wrth ei chraidd yng ngwreiddiau’r band mewn cymuned genhadol – carfan o bobol, neu deulu estynedig, sy’n unedig drwy gymuned Gristnogol ynghlwm â gwasanaeth a thystiolaeth ar y cyd i gymdogaeth neilltuol neu rwydwaith perthynas – heb fod yn annhebyg i’r band eu hunain.
Mae’r trac teitl a’r sengl flaen, Rescuer (Good News), yn rhoi llafar i awydd y band i daflu goleuni yn y mannau tywyll. Mewn cymdeithas sydd fel pe’n wynebu newydd drwg byth a hefyd, mae’r geiriau’n dangos y newydd da sydd i’w gael yn yr Iesu at bob tymor ac amgylchiad.

“There's a lot of bad news out there, but no matter what we have good news, and that good news has a name: Jesus Christ. Today there is nothing more powerful we can do in the darkness, in the bleakness, than proclaim the good news, than proclaim the gospel, and that’s why we wrote this song," says bandleader member Gareth Gilkeson.
Writing “Counting Every Blessing” was a personal and vulnerable process for the band. Birthed out of a period of downheartedness, the band made a conscious effort to practice ‘counting blessings’ in lieu of comparison.
“Sometimes we spend so much of our time looking at what we don’t have rather than being thankful for what we do have,” shares Gilkeson. “Our time on social media, comparing our lives to others, steals our joy and leaves us empty. God has given us so much and we must discipline our minds to think on our blessings rather than letting them fester on what we think we lack.”
Good News is marked with joy and celebration from beginning to end, but it doesn’t shy away from hardship. Each of the 15-tracks on the album speak to the struggle we all experience in light of the good news we’ve been invited to share in.
“All of us make mistakes and hit the ground feeling like we can’t get up again, that our failure is too overwhelming,” Gilkeson shares about the song, “Resurrection Day.” He continues, “But Romans 8 says that ‘The power that raised Christ from the dead lives inside of our mortal bodies’. That means resurrection flows in our veins and if Jesus can rise from the dead, we can get up off the floor again, declaring ‘this is my resurrection day.’”
WithGood News, Rend Collective has chosen not to shy away from the brokenness and suffering, but rather through music and lyric that continues to push boundaries in the band’s own unique way, brings light to the darkness. This album is an invitation to all of us – to lament, to remember, and to share in the good news that belongs to all of us.
