New Surrender is the fourth studio album (and fifth album overall) by the alternative rock band Anberlin. It will be the band's first album on a major label (Universal Republic Records) and is currently slated for an September 30, 2008 release.[2]
[edit] Overview
During a webcam chat session at AbsolutePunk.net, a few things were confirmed about the album. The album will be "guitar-heavy" containing massive guitar parts, and some will have a similar sound to that of "Paperthin Hymn" from Never Take Friendship Personal. During a show at Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC, lead singer Stepen Christian announced the band would be re-recording "The Feel Good Drag" (from Never Take Friendship Personal) for the new album. The record will reportedly utilize many diverse instruments, including the sitar, and there will be an epic closing track, like the band's other three studio albums. Anberlin is also pushing hard for one of New Surrender's tracks to be released as a playable song on a future Rock Band installment.
Three tracks, "Blame Me! Blame Me!", "Still Counting Backwards", and the rerecorded "The Feel Good Drag" have been confirmed in a press release. The band also played a new song, "Bittersweet Memory", at an acoustic show in Seattle, Washington, that will appear on the record. [3]
[edit] Title
Lead singer Stephen Christian wrote the following to explain the new album's title:
"We will all come to the point in our life where we have to admit that we feel defeated, that something has conquered us. We must change, not because we want to, but because we desperately have to. We can not take life in its current suffocating state, even to admit such desperation shows that we are feeling deserted, wandering the barren desert, a shell of our former selves. It is only up from here, it is impossible to sink any lower into ourselves or our circumstances. But we can be salvaged, a deliverance. No vice can stand, no fix can take. The thorn in the side can be removed, but you have to be willing to admit and surrender. Surrender your habits, your lifestyle, your past, your present, and your future. This is your new surrender. The new surrender."[4]
