That’s why, even after returning back to Florida, Christian has decided to pay tribute to New Mexico on the fifth Anchor & Braille full-length, which is not only named after the state, but whose 14 tracks capture its heart and soul. Just by listening to it, you can tell much of a cherished place it remains for the songwriter. NEW MEXICO is due July 25 via Equal Vision Records.“I have not had more fun creating music on a record, maybe in my life,” Christian shares, and continues, “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.”SADurdays airs on Planet Radio 106.7 at 7 PM CSTtune in online or stream live on the free apphits the podcast right after broadcastThanks to Mr. Stephen Christian for such a great chat.
