Claude says:Anberlin's 2014 pivot toward tighter, more direct alternative rock on Lowborn hit you hard that late August—you ran through the whole thing in a tight five-day window, cycling between the propulsive aggression of "Armageddon" and "We Are Destroyer" and the sharper emotional cuts like "Stranger Ways." The band stripped down some of their post-hardcore ornament for something leaner and more immediate, and you clearly needed exactly that version of them right then.
