special thanks to:

kathleen collins, chuck o’toole and leah nylen for generously making anxiety league possible; ivano pulito and chaney trotter, who made us delicious dinner after we recorded for 10 hours; sarge, the wonder dog of art farm (and all his friends for being so sweet and generous); joe and red note rehearsal in ridgewood for the practice space; you and your mom; basketball; our moms; babysitters; melanie for her voicemails, and agnes for her voice, on look like the sun.

anxiety league is a game you play. under an odd moon gather all your gnawing troubles and break them into teams. each plays the others once; top 8 go to the playoffs - best out of 5 series. the anxiety that wins gets a crown and scepter to rule over all it sees. this is anxiety league.
