Stephen Christian will deliver his fifth Anchor & Braille album this summer.
New Mexico is named after the state where Christian spent a portion of his time. The 14-track album follows the singer’s journey through The Land of Enchantment. A new single from the album titled “Sweet Jesus Knows” can be heard here.
Christian said this about the new album:
“I have not had more fun creating music on a record, maybe in my life. It was just so much fun to create. These songs are all internal dialogs I've had with myself, where I'm trying to figure out how I can help someone if they're having the same thoughts or the same anxiety or the same worries. Because if they are, hopefully they can find a little bit of solace in this music. It’s supposed to be a full-on immersive experience. I want people to explore this place and help them feel at home, no matter where they are.”
New Mexico is slated for a July 25 release via Equal Vision Records. Pre-orders for the album can be made here. This is the follow-up to Anchor & Braille’s 2020 studio album Tension.
