Love everything he's been a part of.

 

new interview out. looks like their plan is to release another ep after silverline, then combine the two eps with some “new material” for a full length.

I guess I'll just wait then. Sucks for me but hopefully it works well for them.

 

not entirely mad about it.

 

I like Circles more and more every day. The guitar tone in particular absolutely rips

 

wondering if the kid vocals are stephen's daughters

 

New vinyl variants too for those who missed out previously

 

the new video is just... nah for me. doesn't add to the song at all. good for those that do like it, but it's not my bag.

 

picked up one of those, can't wait... until next spring :)

 

Saw them play Circles for the first time tonight and they killed it (and Two Graves).

They literally stopped added Circles midway through Cities after someone requested it, lol wild

 

An insane individual, partway thru Cities, their magnum opus, requested Circles...and the band obliged? Wat.

 

Not gonna like I kinda love this hahaha

Sounds like they were just waiting for an excuse to play it

 

Personally, I'm not a fan of that. On any random tour, it'd be fine (if not encouraged) to throw in a random song into the playlist due to a request. But album tours are different to me. I'm going to see the album played front to back. No need to interrupt that with a new single. Just wait til the album is done and play it in the encore or something.

 

It's a concert. They're going to play the whole album. They're allowed to take detours if they want.

 

I was there as well. It was very organic and super well received. The most fun I’ve ever seen them have on stage together. Super laid back and fun.

And Circles killed live!

 

If anyone comes across a live video definitely post! I took a quick look this morning but couldn't find one.

Awesome interview from Adam Grundy here,

Stephen Christian of Anberlin

very interesting to me that two of these songs were Anchor&Braille songs that were held back from the last album, I'm going to want to hear the original versions of them now too!

 

that album was… bad. so i hope it’s nothing like that, ha. he makes it sound like they changed things up quite a bit, even from the demos. and i love two graves and circles, so should be good.

 

no way, TENSION was damn good. Completely out of left field and different from his other A&B albums, but it's good

 

i only listened to Tension once. the production was pretty good, but i remember thinking the lyricism wasn't amazing. i could be wrong though, it's been a bit. still wish he stuck with Aaron Marsh for LP4, like he originally planned.

 

whaaaat? I remember there were 3-4 songs that I heavily rotated. What didn’t you like about it?

 

idk i felt the lyrics were either really generic or really christian, which i'm not super into at this point. his singing style wasn't my favorite on this one. i'm glad so many people like it!

 

Of the A&B albums, they rank in the order they came out. Tension didn’t do it for me but as long as Stellan keeps cranking music out, I’ll listen
