Connecticut’s premier rising punk artist Anxious is back with the announcement of their sophomore record, Bambi, available everywhere on February 21 via Run For Cover Records. In tandem with the announcement, the quintet shared a bit of what’s to come with their new lead single and music video for “Counting Sheep.”
Guitarist and co-vocalist Dante Melucci shares, “This [song] is totally insane… I had the idea that I could turn the vibe of the Gorillaz self-titled record into a cool Anxious track, and once I had the verse melody and the quick 16th rhythm pacing I knew it was [going to] be the best song. It’s about being lethargic and wasting your time and hiding, all because you’re too afraid to confront just about everything.”
It’s clear that Anxious is gearing up for one of their biggest years to date, and we are so seated for the glorious punk to come. Check out the raucous and delightful “Counting Sheep” below.
