Subsonic Eye announce new album ‘Singapore Dreaming,’ share “Aku Cemas”

Singapore’s Subsonic Eye have announced their fifth album, Singapore Dreaming, due June 11 via Topshelf (pre-order). The first single is a dreamy, driving indie rock song called “Aku Cemas,” and here’s what vocalist Nur Wahidah says about it:

When I was unemployed for a couple of months, I was feeling this restless feeling. I couldn’t sit still but it felt like I had to. I would apply for 20 jobs a day and go back to watching movies on my laptop. It was a funny feeling – I finally had the time to do whatever I wanted. I could read, knit, craft, cycle. Like when I was employed, I looked forward to doing my favorite things during my free time. But this feeling of doom and uselessness just clouded over everything. I didn’t have the appetite to do things I loved because of the overwhelming anxiety over being unemployed. I didn’t want to be free again, I just wanted a job.
