Canadian indie band Zeus will release their second album, Busting Visions, on March 27th. The album's second single is the upbeat, call-and-response-fueled "Anything You Want Dear," which singer Mike O'Brien says was a late addition to Busting Visions.

Random Notes

"The song was spawned from a guitar hook that had been kicking around in my brain for at least a couple of years. I was inspired during the recording sessions for Busting Visions to pull it out and rework it. It's a great representation of the talents of all four Zeusmen," he says. "Lots of harmony singing and call-and-response vocals, dueling guitar licks, a killer bass line that sometimes serves as a lead and some killer drum fills to boot. A later arrival to the record that somehow summed up a lot of what we had been working on."
