ANXIOUS – Bambi (with Poster) – LP – Yellow Vinyl

Description

Theres a distinct shift from being a gang of kids doing regional runs at VFWs to an established band touring worldwide. Anxious are treading a path they started on as high schoolers, and are now barreling through quarter-life crises at 55mph (Double Nickels on the Dime, but also the fastest speed to safely operate a 15-passenger van and trailer). While this familiar trajectory has defeated many bands, Bambi proves that Anxious wont be one of them. The album comes to a close with Ill Be Around, a stomping mid-tempo rock song that builds to a massive climax of swooning vocals and noisy guitars. While much of Bambi is imbued with disillusionment, Ill Be Around zeros in on the bonds that make all the growing pains worthwhile. I wrote it about the enduring nature of my friendship with Dante, Allen says. Him and I have been friends for over ten years now and although weve grown in different directions, weve been able to maintain this synergy and love. It feels like the right note to close the record on: hopeful, loving, forgivinglooking forward.
