Review: Anxious – Bambi

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.

Anxious break down their new album track-by-track over at Consequence:

“Never Said” is one of the more “direct” songs on the record. It focuses on some deep feelings of exhaustion and disillusionment I’ve experienced over the past couple years through music. In our music subculture, there often seems to be this dynamic where people stay close to others regardless of the fact of whether they really like each other or not. You hear subtle whispers and rumors about what people really think of you, but those feelings are never expressed to you directly. It’s an exhausting social game and one I’m desperate to let go of.
