ALBUM REVIEW: The Bug Club – Very Human Features

Sub Pop

Released: 13.06.25

Another installment in The Bug Club’s increasingly prolific career, Very Human Features continues to finesse their signature sound. Full Grown Man, Twirling In The Middle and stand out track Beep Boop Computers foster a fuzzy garage rock sound that fans will have become accustomed to. However, it’s tracks like Jealous Boy and Appropriate Emotions that set Very Human Features apart, these more subdued songs bring a different feel to the record. There is a more deliberate, heartfelt tone which is emphasised through Muck (Very Human Features), as the band examines the ups and downs of the human condition. At times this feels like a very different take on The Bug Club’s sound yet it is no less exciting or endearing.
