Anxious announces new album 'Bambi' out 2/21

Listen to new single “Counting Sheep” and pre-order now

Anxious have returned! The Connecticut-based punk favorites have announced their sophomore album, Bambi, due out February 21st.Bambi follows Anxious' acclaimed 2022 full-length, Little Green House, and finds the band fully embracing the widescreen alternative rock songwriting they've always hinted at. It's a record of growth and depth that's sonically ambitious while further amplifying the seamless combination of hardcore grit and classic emo dynamism that's made them such a beloved young band.

To mark the announcement, the group have shared Bambi's gigantic lead single "Counting Sheep." From the song's very first seconds it's clear that this is Anxious on another level. Lush harmonies ring out over shimmering guitars before the song explodes into walls of distorted guitars and powerhouse drumming, wrapped up with one of the biggest choruses the group ever penned. It's a track that manages to nod to Bambi's maximalist direction and influences—everything from Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind, to The Smashing Pumpkins and even The Beach Boys—while sounding definitively like Anxious.

Bambi is out February 21st. The band has a string of upcoming East Coast shows, with more to be announced soon.
