Anchor & Braille is the side project of Anberlin´s lead singer Stephen Christian with collaboration from Aaron Marsh of Copeland. The project is due to release a full-length album in 2009.
Anchor & Braille´s initial output greatly contrasted with Christian´s primary band, relying on toned-down instruments such as keyboards, pianos, and acoustic guitars. However, the 2009 album will utilize a full band, with all songs written by Christian but produced and augmented with additional instrumentation by Marsh afterward. Though Marsh initially stated he would not be touring with Anchor & Braille so as to focus primarily on Copeland, it has since been revealed that the two acts will be touring together over the summer anyway.
There are currently two songs available on the group´s MySpace page: "Wedding/Funeral" and "Blur". The official website also has the demo version of "Sleep" (or "When We Die"). The songs "Wedding/Funeral," "Sheet Music" (Which has been mislabelled as ´When We Die (Sleep)") and a demo of "Mary Agnosia" are featured on their PureVolume. A poetic art-loop piece called "16 Conversations" was also on the band´s MySpace page for a short while.
On January 23, 2007, a 7" Vinyl with two songs on it, "Sound Asleep" and "Wedding/Funeral", was released online.
The first single, "Still Sleeping", from the bands debut album is available now on iTunes. The song "Still Sleeping" was also featured on the compilation album "Punk the Clock, Volume Three".
Stephen Christian via his twitter page stated ´I have decided as my new years resolution that A&B will come out in 2009 year or I will give it away for free one year from today. Promise.´ On March 20th, Stephen updated his twitter status to ´rumor has it we´re going to tour in July, I´ll keep you posted!´. Soon after, a release date of June 30th was confirmed. A July tour supporting Copeland was also announced. However the album has since been pushed back to August 4th with a new single being released on June 30th.
