Fresh Surrender was The Archers fourth studio album and third Light Records[1] release.

[1] Perhaps more importantly it signaled a marked change for the band, both in sound and appearance.

It was recorded on the departure of two founding-members, Billy Rush Masters, who wrote the song “Fresh Surrender” and Nancye Short-Tsapralis who had been linchpins in the creation of the group’s sound and writing team for six years.

The project was arranged by Elvis Presley's original TCB Band keyboardist, Larry Muhoberac who went on to co-produce The Archers' next album, Stand Up!

Once again, the band was joined in the studio by an elite group of Los Angeles recording musicians, including Steely Dan alumni Ben Benay, Dean Parks, Lee Ritenour, Wilton Felder, David Hungate, Mike Baird, and Jim Keltner.
