It’s only been a week since we wrote about their Mr Anyway’s Holey Spirits LP – they now call it “a brief identity crisis” – and already our favorite South Wales indie rock trio returns with new work. On the Picture This! EP, The Bug Club follows the same formula as on last year’s Intelectuals, where one long track turned out to be made up of several short songs, recorded back-to-back in one take. That approach makes the title track on the A side – nearly 8 minutes long – feel like a varied and entertaining medley. B-side Out In The Streets is a (one) “regular” tune, albeit twice as long as we’re used to (and featuring an organ solo), one that could easily become a live favorite. Unbelievable how much creativity Sam, Tilly and Dan have in them, because we can expect even more this year.
Picture This! is out now digitally and soon also on picture disc(!) through Bingo Records (UK) and We Are Busy Bodies (US).
