Anchor & Braille is the acoustic side project of Anberlin's lead singer Stephen Christian. ==History== Anchor & Braille was conceived when Christian realized that he had written many songs that he knew Anberlin could never use. The songs were said to have a different feel from Anberlin's material and the lyrics were topics that he felt more personal, which he was not ready at that time to share on a mass platform.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anchor & Braille Release Date, Track List )〕 The band streamed the entire album on their MySpace page before its release on August 4, 2009. 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 through Spartan Records and Wood Water Records and was limited to 1000 copies.〔(Interpunk.com - The Ultimate Punk Music Store )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spartan Records - Anchor & Braille - "Sound Asleep" 7" )〕 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 utilized a full band, with all songs written by Christian but produced and augmented with additional instrumentation by Marsh afterward. The first single, "Still Sleeping", from the band's debut album was made available on iTunes. It was also featured on the compilation album ''Punk the Clock, Volume Three''. The debut album was entitled ''Felt'', produced by Aaron Marsh from Copeland and released on August 4, 2009.〔 The album was released by Wood Water Records and Federal Distribution, debuting at number 30 on the ''Billboard'' Top Heatseekers chart. A vinyl of ''Felt was released on December 14, 2010 with a previously unreleased track, "Empires". On July 31, 2012 Anchor & Braille released their second album, ''The Quiet Life'', on Anberlin's old record label Tooth & Nail Records. Anchor & Braille released two new singles, "Detroit Stab"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Detroit Stab - )〕 and "Fatal Flaws"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fatal Flaws - )〕 on October 4, 2014. On October 10, 2014 Anchor & Braille stated that "there will not be a full length album... but there may be a few more singles shortly."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anchor & Braille )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anchor & Braille」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
