Anxious has unveiled their shimmering, raucous new single, “Head & Spine,” offering a tantalizing preview of their upcoming sophomore album, Bambi, set to drop on February 21 via Run For Cover Records. The track follows October’s release of the album’s lead single, “Counting Sheep,” building anticipation for the 11-track collection. Preorder Bambi here.
“‘Head & Spine’ is probably one of my favorite songs on the whole record,” vocalist Grady Allen shares. “The whole song came together over months just riff by riff. It felt kind of unclear exactly where the song was going to land. There’s all of these sort of disjointed pieces, we were trying to pull from blink-182’s Untitled, some Smashing Pumpkins—even the bridge is this dramatic thing we wouldn’t typically do. All together, I think it really works though.”
Watch the accompanying video for “Head & Spine” below.
Anxious will be hitting the road next year to support the release of their new album with Ultra Q and Stateside as support. Check out their full touring schedule below and purchase tickets here.
