A publicly unfolding large-scale album, Gathered Hymns of Haden Laas will consist of thirty-three hymns and a mass. That takes time... In the mean time, enjoy this pressing of the first thirteen, the ones I recorded throughout New York church basements and released monthly beginning July 28th, 2014: Early Hymns of Haden Laas.
As of December 2018, we have begun the second season. Watch this space for a new upload every month or so. The first thirteen hymns below are found on Early Hymns. They will NOT all appear on the final collection, Gathered Hymns of Haden Laas.
Includes unlimited streaming of Hymns of Haden Laas
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
I need a new hymn
I need a new hymn
I made a new sin
Another day squandering
Sing from the mountaintop
Not into your sleeve
Let it breathe!
Oh, I'm aching to bend
My fate in these idling hands
So is there a friend
In this kingdom of make-pretend?
Fight to the pinnacle
And keep looking out
Past the doubt
Oh, little me
I'll leave it to Him
I'll leave it to Him
Pencil in hand
I'm listening
I'm eager to fold
I'm eager to fold, but
There's news to be told
