Imagine this: a Welsh duo, The Bug Club, is bringing back the garage rock scene with their fourth album “Very Human Features.” This album isn’t just another release – it’s an explosion of creativity, humor, and smart lyrics that shatter the boredom of today’s music scene. After a year of feeding their audience with concerts and festivals, from the packed Green Man Festival in the UK to a US tour, they finally delivered ten brilliant songs that will make you ask: “Have you ever been to Wales?” Because, as they say, if you haven’t, why not?
This album is a real treat for rock lovers, featuring a dissonant unofficial national anthem that starts as a classic chant song and then explodes into something sounding like an alien choir. Imagine Dinosaur Jr. doing a tourist campaign for Wales – that’s roughly the level of madness and genius here.
The Bug Club operates like a collective mind, with Sem Vilmet and Tilly Harris as the creative forces blending humor, pop melodies, and sharp lyrics. Their song “Beep Boop Computers” deconstructs interpersonal relationships through a glam rock lens, while the album as a whole explores humanity in a way that’s both fun and profound.
This band proves rock isn’t dead; it’s just evolved into something intelligent and accessible. If you love music that makes you think and laugh, “Very Human Features” is an album you can’t miss. And if you’re already a fan, you know The Bug Club will keep surprising and delighting us. So, have you ever been to Wales? If not, maybe it’s time to listen to this album and find out why rock is still alive and kicking there.
And while you’re at it, drop a comment below – do you dig this new dose of Welsh madness, or is it too much for your ears? Let’s have some fun!
