Recorded and Produced by Kev Fitzsimons and Clint Meech of Anxiety Club in New Zealand and mixed by me in my mix room at Konk Studios, London. The album was mastered by Pete Maher.

Anxiety Club's pandemic album is also their debut album.

Mixed by Londoner Will Donbavand (Dermot Kennedy), Old Dreams covers a bit of ground with it’s fragile piano ballads, dreamy synthscapes, dance anthems and decent helping of indie pop. Making a slight turn away from their guitar band roots – a choice driven by both design and circumstance – Anxiety Club fully embrace the more electronic section of their record collections here.

Thematically, the album navigates the choppy waters of adulthood. There is depth and maturity in these songs but, as always with Anxiety Club, the self-awareness and sense of fun is never too far away. At one point we even get a dial-up modem solo (Lonely Dancing) and a passive-aggressive AI fitness tracker bot (Espresso Martini).

RIYL: Beach House, Hot Chip, Pulp, The Killers, MGMT, Radiohead, Bowie
