A new band to me today, they're a 3 piece called Anxious Living and the members of the band are from Singapore and the US and have featured in the likes of Constant Insult, Daily Ritual, SIAL, Lubricant, Abrasion and a bunch more. The line up is Azril, Izzad Radzali Shah and Kathleen Thornton. Their sound is "dark garage/post-punk inspired by cemetery research, space debris and anxiety" and their influences include Wipers, Mission Of Burma and The Estranged.
They recently released a 5 track self titled ep which I believe will be a one off. It's on Malaysian label Pissed Off! Records and available on cassette here : http://pissedoffrecs.blogspot.com/2019/08/por095-anxious-living-st-ep-cs.html
The ep features 4 original compositions plus a cover of The Wipers' Wait A Minute. Don't let the description dark post-punk lead you into thinking it's all gloomy goth inspired darkwave. Yeah it's atmospheric but it's also fairly jaunty and utilises both male and female vocals to produce a heady brew. I'm highlighting track 3 today, it appears to be about the part of space that satellites are moved to at the end of their operational life to reduce the probability of colliding with operational spacecraft and generating space debris. It's titled Graveyard Orbit...
