Tracks: 47

Genre: Alternative/ Indie



This incredible album is storytelling central. What other 47 track record can keep you invested the entire way through? The Wales duo never fails to make me smile with short, silly songs that would make anyone groove. This album is a mix of vibes, some rocked-out jams, and some slower, more emotional ballads. My favourite song 'Mister Do You Have The Time For Sittin' made me feel a way The Bug Club have never made me feel before. Each track is broken up with a separate piece of spoken word which makes this album totally unique and a very intriguing listen.

Ever since this album dropped I keep coming back to listen to it. Listened to chronologically provides you with a story told beautifully through song and spoken word and listening on shuffle creates a wildly unique listening experience. The mix of upbeat, rock-heavy tunes and slow, sentimental ballads is perfect to me and I eagerly anticipate the next album. These guys were my top artist for 2024 and I'm not surprised with the sheer amount of times I listened to this album.


Give it a try if you like weird indie-rock stuff 👀
