    It's hard to believe it's been four years since the debut release of The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty's kick excellent debut "Ways of Hearing." But growth takes time and rather than rush a follow-up album to market to capitalize on their newfound success, the group opted to take their time and focus their efforts at their own pace. It paid off.

    On their much anticipated sophomore album, ambition is key. The name of the album itself "The Iliad and the Odyssey and the Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick" spans a glorious 71 characters and is bound to swallow the screen of whatever device that attempts to display the text. The essence of the album is built upon delicate, pleading vocals that sit atop stirring dynamic movements that seem to move between small and vulnerable to full-on symphonies that are bursting with emotion.

    "The Iliad and the Odyssey and the Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick" will be released by veteran indie label Count Your Lucky Stars on April 25th, 2024 (an homage to their first released single of the album) during the deadtime when the cold end of winter is transitioning to a hopeful and promising spring- an apt metaphor that seems to encompass the heart of the album.

lyrics

got me pacing like a tightrope walker
always looking up at a critical moment
fall under until we think there’s a warning
i lean forward
you, on the other hand, are safe behind a wall
looking over, watching for the drop
and all at once and all that I had
you’d say that
i began my perilous climb
over mountain sides
over burning bridges for delight of thousands of fans miles away
and there’s you looking and waiting for a stray wind to catch when i’m not quite ready for the balancing act
safely waiting for the fall
promise to call if you’re in danger
feeling lost and found
takes a lot to feel your feet on the ground
it’s a lot of trouble when you’re high like that
like an old flame, or a late march snow
forcing you open then it pushes you closed
it takes a lot of muscle to get by like that
like a creature out of habit
i don’t want to fight it
like a stranger in these dark times
wouldn’t help a bit for stocks to rise
it takes a lot of money to get high like that
tough guy, out of my body
out through the window like a passing sound
you find it at the height of falling and it crawls back down
getting lost in the heat of it all
never wanted to remember it all
it could happen to you like it happened to me
spent a long time calling and it wasn’t received
