Gungor            

A liturgical post rock musical collective

Gungor is a musical collective formed by husband and wife duo Michael and Lisa Gungor. The group's music has been compared to the music of Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver, and Arcade Fire.

Michael renamed the group from The Michael Gungor Band to simply Gungor in 2010. The first album released under the new name was 2010's Beautiful Things, which features a short gospel-blues jam featuring Israel Houghton titled "Heaven." In 2011, the album and its title track, "Beautiful Things," were nominated for the Grammy categories Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album and Best Gospel Song, respectively.

The band subsequently released seven more albums, the last one appearing in March 2019. These albums explored a broad musical soundscape and charted the couple's changing beliefs from traditional Christianity through a more panentheistic worldview, other religions, and apophatic theology. In early 2018, they announced a shift in direction that would see Gungor return to the progressive spiritual space, while the less mainstream material will move to "other projects" including Michael and Lisa’s solo projects.
