Dummer co-wrote the entire project and co-produced The Work Vol. II with Brent Milligan (Steven Curtis Chapman, Tauren Wells). The album also features songwriting collaborations with David Leonard; Tim Timmons; Benji Cowart; Zach Bolen (Citizens); Eric Fusilier (The City Harmonic); and Gary Rea (Land of Color), among others.
Exuberant album opener "Expectation" puts Dummer's signature style on full display as it steadily builds into a soaring chorus proclaiming the assurance of Christ's promises, while the self-indicting "How Many Songs Does It Take To Save The World?" finds the artist pondering the motivation of his heart: "If I sing a new song, it had better be one I'm living/Not just Sunday morning/Cup of coffee, high notes, and giving/You want us faithful/We bargain for power/You want the whole thing/I offered an hour."
"I love the Church and believe deeply in what it can and should be, but if we're honest, we're not doing a very good job of being that thing," Dummer admits. "The Work Vol. II is for the disappointed who refuse to give up on Hope, whether their faith is hanging by a thread, or they have the gift of years of perspective. It's for the hurting, who refuse to give up on mercy, knowing that we need it above all else. It's for the tired, eager to find rest for the soul but worn out on cliches and cheap maxims. These songs are for those of us aware that while we, together, have missed the mark, Jesus remains true to His every word."
"Ultimately, this is a collection of worship songs-some for Sunday and some for Monday through Saturday," he adds. "I made this record for myself, and people like me. These songs are prayers I needed to pray, and if you can relate to those things, this music is for you too."
The Work Vol. II is also a multi-faceted showcase of collaboration. "When my co-producer, Brent, and I first started working on this album in 2020, it was a remote process," Dummer explains. "However, using the power of the internet, we were able to gather a virtual choir from around the world to be featured on several tracks, and one of my co-writers arranged and recorded string parts for us from Australia. When we finally went back into the studio, we were joined by some incredible musicians in person as well."
Among the album's key collaborations are "See Clearly," a plaintive, indie-pop hymn featuring acclaimed singer/songwriter Sandra McCracken; "Kyrie Eleison (It's Mercy We Need)," with Seattle-based Citizens; the gratitude-filled "Carry," featuring singer/songwriter JJ Heller, and the contemplative Land of Color feature, "The Gospel Is Rest."
