Anchor & Berlin

Stephen Christian is seriously one of the most talented musicians I've ever found & hands-down my favorite lyricist. For those who don't recognize the name, he's the frontman of Anberlin & also has a solo project under the name of Anchor & Braille with songs that wouldn't fit for Anberlin.

I swear, I listen to Anberlin more than anything else. My last.fm account just goes to show how much Anberlin passes through my ears. A lot of people say they're not a wow-ing band, but I highly disagree. I have every version of their songs & every cover they've ever done. I'd sell organs to see them, I don't need my lungs for anything.

In addition to music, Stephen also has a book called The Orphaned Anything's, an organization for "faceless" children, a blogspot of pure beauty & a very-frequently updated Twitter account.

If anyone's looking for some new music, look no further.

Anchor & Braille:

There's only one album & it's called Felt.
Summer Tongues is my favorite A&B song.

Also, I'd love to get to know some already-existing Anberlin fans! Maybe this could be Blueprints for New City Friendships?

Live for today, we'll dream tomorrow.
