Last year The Bug Club appeared on my radar on the recommendation of JC, sadly too late for my year's end list. I enjoyed their album On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System because this Welsh duo brought back the lightness of indie songs in a time when everything has to be perfect.
Now they return with a new album and they are still searching for the perfect melody. Their sound is a symbiosis of driving guitars, pointed rhythms and lyrics that look at the everyday with subtle irony.
The Bug Club deliver a record that doesn't give a damn about conventions. Garage rock meets lo-fi indie, punk pop meets anti-folk. I've rarely heard anything so charming this year.

Nice one Walter. Local heroes to us, this lot are. Always worth popping along to their live shows if you get the chance.
Thank you, Walter, for the shout-out.....but I have to in turn thank The Robster for introducing me to the Bug Club via an ICA.
And yes, they are a fabulously enjoyable live act.
