The standing of Anxiety as one of the year’s true pop gems should not be underestimated

A great pop record with plenty of guts and a sense of reality that is so often missing from records that sound this fun

While it may not be as fun and exuberant as Ladyhawke’s debut, Anxiety is still packed with stick-in-your-head choruses and bouncy indie pop hooks

Anxiety is as tight and catchy as a baseball mitt. On this evidence, one thing that needn't cause Pip Brown anxiety is her ear for a tune

Pop comebacks are always a difficult thing to manage, but with an album that retains all the best things about her debut while expanding on both her sound and style, Pip Brown has more than passed the second album test

A lot has happened in pop music since Ladyhawke last released new songs, but it's pleasing to report that one of the most likeable and unassuming songwriters around is sticking to her guns. If anything they're more powerful this time

The AU Review
It is evident that Ladyhawke has not decided to move in a new direction – the familiar sound of her voice and trademark synthesiser riffs are as present as ever

There's nothing on Anxiety so arrestingly new or comfortingly familiar [as on the debut]

For all its merits and charms, it’s unlikely that Anxiety will draw in too many people who weren’t smitten the first time around. But in its more luminous moments, it also contains enough to suggest that there is still a great album lurking somewhere underneath the Ladyhawke moniker

The Line Of Best Fit
It doesn’t gleefully ingrain itself on your consciousness in quite the same way that the debut album did. Which, in the end, makes Anxiety ever so slightly disappointing

The tones are sludgier, the vocal lines feel more jaded, and at times it’s all just a bit too mechanical. While Anxiety is not a trainwreck, it’s a missed opportunity

Anxiety lacks the addictive quality of its predecessor, and it's certainly less musically interesting

If this is Ladyhawke trying to find herself, she’s tragically lost sight of what made her amazing in the first place
