Hello Thor Presents Anxieteam

Hello Thor Records release, on limited edition picture disc, the debut single by Anxieteam, the brand new musical collaboration between internationally-acclaimed visual artists Jim Avignon and Jon Burgerman.

Burgerman is probably the most famous doodle artist in the world – his instantly recognisable, vibrant creations have taken him from Beijing to Brooklyn, from Naples to Tokyo. Avignon is a cult figure in the underground art & music scenes in Berlin – making music since 1997 and releasing 9 albums under the moniker Neoangin.

Meeting for the first time for a two man show in Bushwick, Brooklyn in 2008, Burgerman and Avignon developed a close friendship. And then came their band, Anxieteam – Burgerman on vocals and ukelele, Avignon on everything else.

Anxieteam splice together merry electronic pop melodies with dry, sardonic lyrics. It is music as colourful and as full of humour as each man’s paintings, and equally as fraught with doubt and longing.
