Anxious just dropped their new single “Some Girls” from their forthcoming record Bambi. The sophomore LP, which is due out February 21 via Run For Cover Records, also features their previous singles “Counting Sheep” and “Head & Spine.” Needless to say, Anxious is dynamic in every sense of the word.
