Anberlin release CURRENCY, first album with a new frontman, to mixed critical reception
Kerrang!'s review says the vocal change brings a fresh dynamic, but the Florida band's new chapter still falls short of its past high points.
Anberlin have released CURRENCY, the record that opens a new chapter for the Florida band, now fronted by a different vocalist. The album was reviewed by Kerrang! in a piece written by James Hingle and published on November 12, 2026.
According to the review, the change behind the microphone gives the group a fresh dynamic and reshapes how the songs come across. At the same time, the write-up argues that this new era still has ground to cover before it can match the strongest moments of Anberlin's catalogue.
Active since the early 2000s and a familiar name to listeners of alternative rock and emo, Anberlin built a body of work that became a reference point for fans of the genre. CURRENCY arrives as the first entry in that story told with another voice, and the early response points to a band in transition.
