Anxiety Always

Anxiety Always is an album released by the Detroit, Michigan electronic duo ADULT. in September 2003.

ADULT. consists of instrumentalist Adam Lee Miller and vocalist Nicola Kuperus. Kuperus is also a visual artist and provided the album's cover art photography. Upon its release Anxiety Always received positive reviews from critics, who praised the duo's expansion of their mostly-synthesizer-based sound, as the album contains prominent guitar and bass guitar elements.

Anxiety Always was released independently by Miller and Kurperus on their Ersatz Audio record label.
