Preoccupations – Anxiety

The name might’ve changed but the music remains as good as ever. Preoccupations have shared a video for ‘Anxiety’ from their self-titled debut under the new moniker, which drops on 16 September via Jagjaguwar. The black and white video directed by Yoonha Park comes to a full circle in elements we love; set in a forest, a gothic atmosphere reigns in the video that’s been described as “a catalog of childhood phobias and anxieties”. After a minute long build up, the steady, dark rhythm kicks in followed by Matt Flegel articulating, ‘with a sense of urgency and unease’, the epitome of anxiety. Needless to say, we’re thrilled to have Preoccupations at De School, Amsterdam this upcoming Sunday, 19 June supported by Those Foreign Kids.
