Pitchfork Best New Music award for the album and 2 Pitchfork Best New Track awards already. I'm enjoying it a great deal, I think many of you will as well (not you, IWB & Martha). Here's the PR release description of the album:
Here are the two "Best New Track" songs:
Autre Ne Veut - Play By Play [Official Single] - YouTube
Autre Ne Veut - Counting [Official Single] - YouTube
Anxiety is the full-length follow up to Autre Ne Veut's 2010 s/t debut. The influences range from David Byrne to Lee Scratch Perry, Laurie Anderson & Annie Lennox to Katy Perry & Rihanna. ANV's primary influence is karaoke- the solitary person singing along with their favorite song. In karaoke we get to be someone bigger than who we usually are. There are club bangers on Anxiety, for sure; "Counting" a cybernetic sea shanty tips its hat to Timbaland, and opening track "Play By Play" rolls out like a slowly evolving Top 40 operetta with nods to Dr. Luke and Patti LaBelle in equal measure.
