\"\"<\/a>Alternative rock outfit\u00a0Anberlin<\/strong>\u00a0has announced\u00a0CURRENCY<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0the band’s highly anticipated ninth studio album and the first full-length release to feature\u00a0Matty Mullins<\/strong>\u00a0as lead vocalist. Marking the beginning of a bold new chapter,\u00a0CURRENCY<\/em>\u00a0builds on the momentum of 2024’s\u00a0Vega<\/em><\/strong>, 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\u00a0Kellen McGregor<\/strong>\u00a0(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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>To coincide with the album announcement, the band released their first single off the new record\u00a0“NEVERAFTER<\/a>”\u00a0<\/em>and accompanying music video, directed by Anberlin drummer\u00a0Nathan Young<\/strong>,\u00a0and\u00a0Jacob Moniz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On the new record, vocalist\u00a0Matty Mullins\u00a0shares\u00a0“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.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Rather than looking back with hesitation,\u00a0CURRENCY<\/em>\u00a0finds 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\u00a0“Neverafter,” “Highstakes<\/strong>,”<\/em>\u00a0and the emotionally resonant\u00a0“Trenches<\/strong>“<\/em>\u00a0featuring\u00a0Switchfoot<\/strong>,\u00a0CURRENCY<\/em>\u00a0reaffirms Anberlin’s commitment to creating music that connects through honesty and resilience. More than simply the next album in the band’s catalog,\u00a0CURRENCY<\/em>\u00a0is a statement of renewal\u2014one that celebrates where Anberlin has been while embracing everything that lies ahead.<\/p>\n

“NEVERAFTER”\u00a0<\/em>is out now and streaming everywhere. New album,\u00a0CURRENCY<\/em>,\u00a0will be available Friday 11 November via Equal Vision\/Civilians. Pre-order the album\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
