Anxious - Bambi (February 21, 2025) • Page 11

i absolutely love that they did this tribute to scott.

 

a buddy told me about these... at 0:52 and 1:23 on head & spine, there are some strange non-drum-fills. wondering if these were specific choices or more likely just rushed production?

 

Those fills bother me every time I listen to that song haha. No reason to believe they weren’t choices made by the drummer, who otherwise gives an impressive performance on this record and their first. Would’ve loved something more tasteful there but hey, not my song

 

they didn't bother me until he pointed them out. oh well... it's kinda like that weird high frequency thing on tell all your friends. hope the drummer isn't haunted by this, lol. this record is good, so they're probably going to be doing reunion shows in 25 years. when i'm 60+ i'll have to check in on the re-recording

 

idk what you're talking about, I'm a drummer and those fills are good and fit within the song perfectly

also their drummer is *great*

 

It's just a double hit (or like 16th notes?) to my ear. Nothing crazy.

 

Well, not saying they’re “crazy” fills, they just don’t belong in that spot. As a person who has also played drums for much of my life (as if this qualification holds any weight lol), they feel very congested to me. He is a good drummer, just don’t love the choice there!

 

I can understand not loving the choice, but I don't think they're "strange non-drum-fills"

 

Was lucky enough to interview Grady. We spent most of our time talking about running and Fountains of Wayne.

Anxious: It needs to be anchored in something else, too.

 

Wait I’m doing the Brooklyn Half this year lol. Maybe it’s time to finally get into Transatlanticism

great interview!

 

just make sure you've got the album downloaded!!

 

Sunder reminds me a ton of Crime In Stereo

 

I need to hear this record totally not stoned and very much not high at all

 

my guess is y’all work for run for cover

 

oh hey look it's that guy nobody likes

 

Holy shit

 

I hope they have that A Bambi hoodie at the show. That thing goes crazy

 

i want them to get some good merch on black shirts that proudly display the word anxious to denote not only my love of the band but my most frequent state of being. i can’t wear white shirts the pits go yellow too quickly.

 

Sounds more like “When Your Heart Stops Beating” by +44 to me.

 

I've been revisiting the debut and this record has really made me appreciate it more. Bambi is a step up but I don't think Little Green Houses is far behind. I've kinda been sleeping.

 

Great album

 

Catching up on drum convo….extremely nitty pick lol

 

Very dumb

 

Finally got around to this one and I am not surprised that it’s great!
