Anberlin, formerly on Tooth and Nail Records has recently crossed over into the mainstream with Universal to releases their fourth album “New Surrender.” We were blown away by this album from the first listen. Not only have they kept their Christ Filled passionate lyrics, but they have delivered an amazing sound of melodies and music.
The opening song is “The Resistance” which has an upbeat tempo, stating to stand strong in Christ in the World. The dynamics and melody is extremely catchy and you will find this playing over and over in your head.
“Feel Good Drag,” is a re-rerelease from their second album. However this time around the production is much stronger and the song has a much better sound. This is a song about being careful of the relationships you get yourself in. Again extremely strong melodies and guitar rifts.
Our favorite song on the album is “Breathe.” The song is all about freedom. We have posted the lyrics for you to read for yourself.
“Breathe” by Anberin
This is surrender
to a wartorn life i’ve lived
scars and stripes forever
in need of change i can’t resist
no need to hide anything anymore
cant return to who i was before
i can finally breathe
suddenly alive
i can finally move
the world feels revived
this long of a struggle
finally opened up my eyes
revolutions not easy
with a civil war on the inside
no need to hide anything anymore
cant return to who i was before
i can finally breathe
suddenly alive
i can finally move
cause I realise
i can finally breathe
suddenly alive
i can finally move
the world feels revived
Be sure to pick up a copy of this new release. This is a true display of modern, authentic worship, that we wish we could see more Worship Leaders engage with.
