The Bug Club flex Every Single Muscle with feral twee-pop oddness

The Bug Club’s Every Single Muscle sounds like an album that has looked at the human body and decided the only sensible response is to write short, wired, slightly ridiculous songs about it. Reviewed on 8 June, the Welsh duo’s latest Sub Pop release keeps their garage-pop and post-punk instincts intact while pushing their fascination with physical awkwardness into full cartoon anatomy mode. What makes The Bug Club such a useful band is that they never confuse looseness with laziness. Their songs may feel like they were kicked out of a rehearsal room in a rush, but the hooks arrive fast, the humour lands sharply and the nervous energy is doing real emotional work. The body becomes a place of comedy, embarrassment, desire and anxiety, which is probably more honest than most rock mythology. Every Single Muscle is odd, noisy, twee, rude and somehow sincere. In other words, very much alive.
