Bartees Strange has returned with his latest album, entitled Horror. The ultra-talented multi-instrumentalist, producer and songwriter maps out an intricate collection of songs that showcase the depths he’s willing to go to tell a vivid story about his life and set the course for where he plans to go next in his sound. The press release shared that, “His family used scary stories to teach life lessons, and at an early age, Strange started using scary movies to practice being strong. The world can be a terrifying place, and for a young, queer, black person in rural America, that terror can be visceral. Horror is an album about facing those fears and growing to become someone to be feared.” It’s a gripping description of the state of mind that Bartees Strange used to craft his latest studio effort that encapsulates the horror of living in our ever-changing world. Bartees Strange takes the listener on a thrilling ride over an album that is both cohesive and moves the needle closer to a fully-realized vision for his music.

There are only a handful of albums that I can vividly remember grabbing me from the very first note and never letting up until the dramatic conclusion. Bambi falls firmly in this category. The sophomore effort from the Connecticut-based punk band, Anxious, solidifies the effort that the band has put in on tour and in the studio to make their most fully realized work of art to date. Produced, engineered, and mixed by Brett Romnes (The Movielife, Front Bottoms, Oso Oso) at The Barber Shop Studios, Anxious take big risks and are rewarded for these leaps of faith over and over again. While Little Green House introduced the world to Anxious, Bambi knocks the doors right off the hinges with a great immediacy to their sound that is sure to take the scene by storm. The early favorite for 2025’s Album of the Year has arrived.
