Just last year, the prolific Welsh DIY duo known as the Bug Club jumped to Sub Pop records and released their album On The Intricate Inner Workings Of The System. Today, the Bug Club announce another LP, and this one is coming out less than a year after the last one. It's called Very Human Features, and the nightmare image that you see above is the cover art.
The Bug Club released a one-off single called "Have U Ever Been 2 Wales" last month, but it's not on the new album. Today, with the LP announcement, they've shared "Jealous Boy," and that one will be on there. It's a catchy, lo-fi garage-pop jam that's a lot less forbidding than anything that the group's album cover implies. Below, check out "Jealous Boy," as well as the Very Human Features tracklist and the Bug Club's upcoming tour dates.
