Preoccupations (fka Viet Cong) Announce New Album, Share "Anxiety" Video: Watch
Preoccupations (formerly Viet Cong) have announced their sophomore album, a self-titled release under their new name. Preoccupations is out September 16 via Jagjaguwar. You can find the album’s tracklist and artwork below. They’ve also shared a music video for the first single, “Anxiety.” The black-and-white video, directed by Yoonha Park, is described as “a catalog of childhood phobias and anxieties.” It features the band’s members exploring the backwood areas of an unknown forest, alongside sepia-toned footage of masked figures and a dilapidated family home. Watch the music video below.
The band will also kick off a world tour in support of the new record, beginning this week. Find a full itinerary below.
