BUG EYED ANNOUNCES DEBUT EP ‘WE TALK THUNDERSTORMS NOT SHOWERS (PART 1)’

SHARES NEW SINGLE “SNUG AS A BUG” 

WE TALK THUNDERSTORMS NOT SHOWERS (PART 1)  DUE FEBRUARY 12TH

Bug Eyed announces their debut EP We Talk Thunderstorms Not Showers (Part 1) due February 12th via Atlantic Records and shares their single “Snug as a Bug,” today. “Snug as a Bug” is set in the after-hours, capturing the raw energy of two young souls on their un-hurried way home. In a fogged up taxi, high on connection and a little more, locking fingers, and burning papers.

Meeting Bug Eyed – comprised of south-west Londoners Blue O’Grady and Charlie Sale – feels like being swept into a kinetic forcefield of energy, excitement, and unbridled creativity. Their music mirrors this dynamic, delivering their vivid storytelling through a kaleidoscopic blend of indie, electro-pop, hip-hop, 80s synth, and 90s fuzz-rock guitars.

We Talk Thunderstorms Not Showers (Part 1) will include the previously shared singles “Back Seats” a woozy ode to romantic loss, “Ten To Twelve”, with its visceral snapshots of altered states and falling for your best friend, and “A Rated Horror Movies” a dramatic synth-pop opus chronicling Blue’s first major heartbreak. 

Bug Eyed’s cinematic storytelling unpacks the struggles and joys of being young, spirited, and romantic in today’s chaotic world. Their poetic narratives explore love, sex, friendship, ambition, and hope, all set against lush, intricately layered soundscapes that combine synth-pop finesse with driving guitars and boundless sonic experimentation.

After captivating audiences while supporting Sad Night Dynamite and performing at the Pitchfork Festival in Paris, Bug Eyed are gearing up for their next big adventure. From late February 2025, they’ll join Lola Young on her UK and European tour, showcasing their electrifying live show.
