Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter is taking the idea of a concept album to a new level. Hayter combined her interest in religion and her education in art and linguistics, to embark on a kind of anthropological experiment in her latest album, 'Saved!,' which explores a fictionalized conversion to Pentecostalism.

LOS ANGELES — The bones that embody an album can take many shapes. They may tell a story, follow a genre or soundtrack a film.

People are also reading… Although not attempting to portray a genuine conversion or create a piece of historical research, Hayter, who previously recorded under the moniker Lingua Ignota, used the album to meditate on how people tell stories about their perceived realities. As she made it, she found herself thinking about the concept of documentary storytelling and “what is edited out and what we choose to leave in.

“A lot of the language surrounding Christianity really is quite beautiful and poetic but is also, or can also be, pretty horrifying,” she said. Wacker explained that as long as attempts at glossolalia are done in a “worshipful context,” tactics can be employed to achieve it. For Hayter, those included sleep deprivation, fasting and listening to others speak in tongues, an idea from her producer and recording engineer, Seth Manchester.

“It was really pretty dissociative. I was able to just kind of let my brain go and let language and the brain kind of act independently or something. I’m not entirely sure what happened. But it definitely felt like releasing something,” she said.
