Gospel Machine releases new 'garage gospel' music

Today's Morning Edition music is from "Them Young Girl Blues" by the Minneapolis-based band Gospel Machine.

It's from their new album "Holy Ghost."

The group is hosting a record release show Friday night at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis.

The band calls its music "garage gospel." Songwriter Wes Burdine said it's "a way for us to describe music about redemption from racism, from sexism, from war and violence, and between two people in love. But it's also about making music with the urgency of garage pop."
