'Anxious?' is the just released debut single from new project Gillbanks, comprised of London-based Sam Gillbanks (vocals, guitars, bass, keys) and Hugo Heaverman (drums, production), and is taken from their first album, 'Lived-In', out shortly.
The two friends have spent the last six months working on the album, which they have recorded and produced themselves in Falmouth and at Hugo's house near Oxford.
It's quite an impressive debut, too. Opening on a doleful loop, it gradually introduces distorted guitar and drums that attack in intensity, and turn it into something maybe not wholly expected; with Sam's vocals weaving around lyrics of, "late back again / never seem to rest my head / when I’m around you,", as grungey riffs abound.
Gillbanks has also uploaded a second, shorter album track demo in the form of 'A Lonely Beast', which is quite different in character to 'Anxious?', geared - as one can only surmise from a brief 82 seconds-worth - more around melody and atmospherics. Take a listen below.
