Punk-adjacent genius, Worriers have shared a brand new track “Top 5” today along with an announcement of a US tour this fall. The fresh indie rock track is drenched in cathartic turmoil. Somewhat of a somber track instrumentally, the lyrics prove emotionally exhausting. Exhausting in a way that feels like home, too familiar if you’ve struggled with depression or anxiety. The second single from their upcoming album Trust Your Gut out September 15th, the song pushes and pulls between anger and sadness.
With lyrics like “Top 5 ways to try and stay sane / No routine is gonna keep you safe / My faith is running with scissors / What, with all the free time / How can you sleep let alone look in the mirror?” the track is empathetic to the struggles of an impossible task.

Speaking on the new track, Worriers leader Lauren Denitzio shared: “‘Top 5’ is a song that emerged from writing while isolated in the spring of 2020. I wanted to capture the feeling of internal turmoil when we were burdened with myriad reasons to be angry and sad simultaneously. Through all of it, the light at the end of the tunnel was the celebration we’ll have when the person responsible for so much misery finally pays for it. It’s a song of heightened and conflicting emotions. “Top 5″ is also one of the first on the record that I started writing on piano and organ, signifying a distinct shift in my writing and collaborative process at that time.”
