Pictures of Vernon - Bug - VINYL LP

This product is an authorized manufactured on demand CD-R

Few bands can master the loud - quiet - loud dynamic, and even fewer as effectively as Shady Bug. The young St. Louis based four-piece doesn't just utilize contrast, they revel in it. Lemon Lime, the band's appropriately titled full-length, is a sweet and sharp sonic confection, each song a push and pull of jagged distortion and beautiful melody that's impossible to deny. It takes their brand of noisy, dynamic guitar pop and twists it into new directions. The album opens with a wall of explosive fuzz that brilliantly shifts to a shimmering verse of interwoven guitars and Hannah Rainey's warm voice. Throughout the 9 tracks it becomes a stunning display that perfectly captures the effortless balance of sheer beauty and unhinged discord at which Shady Bug excels, and it makes something very clear Lemon Lime isn't your average pedal-stomping indie rock album, it's lightning in a bottle.1.

Vinyl LP pressing. John Dwyer has a surprise... While everyone eagerly anticipates the next Oh Sees record, he's been working tirelessly in his synth laboratory, hand-crafting a follow-up to last year's debut-one that shakes up the snow globe considerably. If Hubba Bubba was a brush with a robotic exoskeleton on deep-space patrol, 2015’s Cold Hot Plumbs visits the alien world that sent it into the cosmos. rich, textural and psychedelic, the songs breathe with a otherworldly sadness and heart. Barbed, sophisticated arrangements flower in every direction. The vintage-perfect sound palette would be window dressing if not for the songs themselves fresh, vital, and above all catchier than the flu. Cold Hot Plumbs is a strange, beautiful, and oddly infectious addition to Dwyer's oeuvre, and not one to be missed.
