''Felt'' is the debut studio album by Anchor & Braille, the side-project of Anberlin lead vocalist, Stephen Christian. The album was released through Christian's own label Wood Water Records and Federal Distribution on August 4, 2009 and was produced, engineered and mixed by Aaron Marsh from fellow Florida-based band Copeland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anchor & Braille Release Date, Track List )〕 ''Felt'' debuted at number 30 on the ''Billboard'' Top Heatseekers chart. ==Release and promotion== ''Felt'' is the first release on Christian's own record label, Wood Water Records. Wood Water is distributed by Anberlin's record label Universal Music Group. The album's title was explained by Christian in a press release by the label, "I named the record ''Felt'' at the request of a friend because the meaning, much like the songs on the record, has two different levels; a surface and a deeper. The first meaning of the word ‘Felt’ is the past tense of the word ‘feels’ because these songs are all past memories, which I have learned, mourned, and grown from. The second meaning of ‘felt’ is the fabric which connotates a very sensual imagery, hopefully much like the music and melodies themselves."〔 The album was completed in 2008 and was initially expected to be released sometime in the fall after four years of work on the album.〔 However, due to Christian's touring duties with Anberlin to promote their album ''New Surrender'' and the fact that Christian wanted to tour the Anchor & Braille material, he chose to wait until he had completed his commitments with Anberlin.〔 Anchor & Braille toured the US in July with Copeland, Sherwood, Meese and Barcelona.〔 Prior to the album's release, a full stream was made available on the Anchor & Braille MySpace page.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anchor & Braille stream full album )〕 The album was released on August 4, 2009.〔 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「Felt (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
