Last year, Anxious unveiled their second album Bambi. The Connecticut emo band is gearing up for a tour with Citizen, Hotline TNT, Rocket, and Cryogeyser. The new track "Don't Move" draws inspiration from Jimmy Eat World and Australian indie duo Armlock. Vocalist Grady Allen describes the song as being about a relationship that ended during his early twenties, attempting to rekindle it but never feeling truly connected again.
Allen explains that "Don't Move" is about acknowledging that feeling while trying to ignore it in the hopes of things changing. This song marked the beginning of a collection of tracks he started writing late last summer, with no expectations for a record or a specific concept. The bridge for the song was his first inspiration, aiming for the atmospheric buildup found in Jimmy Eat World's Clarity B-side.
Armlock's layered acoustic guitars and vocals also influenced him greatly. Listen to the song below along with the tour dates.
