Side projects are a curious thing in the music industry. The true motivations of the side project are often unclear- is it for money or personal fulfillment- and the quality of the material is often much weaker than that of the parent group. However, once in a blue moon, there is a solo project that sacrifices the opportunity to grab more money from fans in favor of musical exploration and personal fulfillment. Anchor & Braille, a collaboration Anberlin vocalist Stephen Christian and multi-instrumentalist Micah Tawlks, is one of the rare side projects that actually seeks to delve deeper into the music and explore more of the spectrum.
