Anxious have announced their sophomore album, Bambi, will drop on February 21st via Run For Cover Records. The LP follows the band’s 2022 full-length, Little Green House. Along with the news, the group have shared Bambi’s lead single “Counting Sheep.” 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.

Guitarist and co-vocalist Dante Melucci discussed the new song and its unexpected origins saying: “This one 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 gonna 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”

Bambi was Produced, engineered, and mixed by Brett Romnes (The Movielife, Front Bottoms, Oso Oso) at The Barber Shop Studios.
