The rockers with a passion for worship returned to collaborate with longtime producer Aaron Sprinkle (Anberlin, Hawk Nelson, Jeremy Camp) for their latest project.<br>"We are really excited about our new record," shares frontman Jon Micah Sumrall. "We really wanted to go back to some of our roots musically on this record and so we teamed up with Aaron Sprinkle again for the first time in several years. He was such an instrumental part of our recording process throughout the first half of our career and we had so much fun creating music together again. I think this record really captures our goal of incorporating some of our older sounds while still creating something that is fresh and new."<br><br>On October 1'st 2015 Kutless will begin their Every Child Is Beautiful Tour with Mark Schultz, David Dunn and Natasha Owens. The tour will benefit Holt International, a Christian organization that focuses on helping families who want to adopt internationally.<br>"For our longtime fans, I think this is the record they have been waiting a long time for, and I can t wait for everyone to hear it," Sumrall concludes.
