ANBERLIN Announces New Album 'Currency', Shares 'Neverafter' Single

Alternative rock outfit ANBERLIN has announced "Currency", the band's highly anticipated ninth studio album and the first full-length release to feature Matty Mullins as lead vocalist. Marking the beginning of a bold new chapter, "Currency" builds on the momentum of 2024's "Vega", 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 Kellen McGregor (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.

To coincide with the album announcement, the band released their first single off the new record, "Neverafter", and accompanying music video, directed by ANBERLIN drummer Nathan Young, and Jacob Moniz.

On the new record, Mullins shares: "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."

Rather than looking back with hesitation, "Currency" finds 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 "Neverafter", "Highstakes" and the emotionally resonant "Trenches" featuring SWITCHFOOT, "Currency" reaffirms anberlin's commitment to creating music that connects through honesty and resilience. More than simply the next album in the band's catalog, "Currency" is a statement of renewal — one that celebrates where ANBERLIN has been while embracing everything that lies ahead.

ANBERLIN will hit the road with longtime friends and alternative rock mainstays SWITCHFOOT for an extensive run of tour dates later this year. The tour brings together two of the genre's most enduring and influential bands, giving fans the opportunity to experience ANBERLIN's next chapter live while celebrating a catalog that has resonated for nearly 25 years. As the band ushers in a new era with "Currency", the upcoming shows promise a dynamic set that blends beloved fan favorites with the powerful new material, underscoring the renewed energy and excitement driving ANBERLIN forward.
