New Surrender by Anberlin
New Surrender is an album by Anberlin, released in 2008. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 48 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Feel Good Drag”, on 34 lists and voted number one twice.
New Surrender, Anberlin's fourth album, arrived on September 30, 2008, and marked the Winter Haven, Florida, band's jump from semi-independent Tooth & Nail to the majors after signing with Universal Republic. They didn't let the ink dry: sessions ran at NRG Recording Studios in North Hollywood in early 2008, barely a year after Cities, with Neal Avron producing.
Singer and keyboardist Stephen Christian fronts guitarists Joseph Milligan and Christian McAlhaney, bassist Deon Rexroat and drummer Nathan Young, and Avron gives their alt-rock a big, polished, radio-ready sheen. It paid off: lead single "Feel Good Drag" crawled all the way to No. 1 on the Alternative Songs chart after 29 weeks, and the album reached number 13 on the Billboard 200, with "Breaking" the other song from it that countdown listeners took to.
