ANBERLIN SHARE NEW SINGLE "GRAVITY"
Last month, alternative rock outfit Anberlin announced CURRENCY, the band's highly anticipated ninth studio album and the first full-length release to feature Matty Mullins as lead vocalist. Marking the beginning of a bold new chapter, CURRENCY builds on the momentum of 2024's Vega, where Mullins made his recording debut on two tracks, and signals a renewed creative energy for a band that has continually evolved throughout its nearly 25-year career. Produced by the band alongside Kellen McGregor (Memphis May Fire), the eleven-track album embraces both Anberlin's storied past and an exciting future, proving that growth and reinvention can coexist without sacrificing the band's unmistakable identity.
Today, the band is offering another taste of what’s to come on the new record "GRAVITY" which follows the release of “NEVERAFTER” and its accompanying music video, directed by Anberlin drummer Nathan Young, and Jacob Moniz.
Vocalist Matty Mullins adds "GRAVITY is about coming to terms with the fact that our time here is limited and choosing to live in a way that leaves nothing unsaid and nothing undone. It wrestles with the weight of mortality, but ultimately finds peace in letting go of fear and embracing the people, moments, and purpose that matter most."
Rather than looking back with hesitation, CURRENCY finds Anberlin moving forward with confidence. Drawing from a collection of previously unfinished songs while giving Mullins the space to leave his own creative mark, the album balances soaring rock anthems with deeply reflective moments, exploring themes of perseverance, vulnerability, and hope. Featuring standout tracks including "Neverafter," "Highstakes," and the emotionally resonant "Trenches" featuring Switchfoot, CURRENCY reaffirms Anberlin's commitment to creating music that connects through honesty and resilience. More than simply the next album in the band's catalog, CURRENCY is a statement of renewal—one that celebrates where Anberlin has been while embracing everything that lies ahead.
On the new record, vocalist Matty Mullins previously shared "The overall theme of CURRENCY is what happens after everything you built your identity on falls apart. It’s a journey through heartbreak, loss, addiction, shame, and the lies we tell ourselves. Instead of staying in the wreckage, it’s about finding the strength to face the truth, let go of what was killing you, and become someone new. I believe that healing doesn’t begin when the pain ends, it begins when you finally stop running from it."
"GRAVITY" is out now and streaming everywhere. New album, CURRENCY, will be available Wednesday 11 November via Equal Vision/Civilians. Pre-order the album here.
