It’s been a whole seven months since their last.

Since Very Human Features, which emerged in June of 2025, the non-stop tour has seen the BBC 6 Music and KEXP favourites ping-pong across the Atlantic like they used to the Severn Bridge. Various festival slots in the summer kept them from having any sort of holiday - who needs one when you live in Wales anyway? - until it was time to head back to the writing room. Which is most likely still a bedroom in Caldicott frequented by a greyhound called Ted (listen out - he shows up in one of the songs).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn to the words: While Very Human Features did an excellent job of pointing at everyday things and highlighting their absurdity, on\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eEvery Single Muscle\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Bug Club look more closely at themselves. Not so much in an introspective way, though. More in a way an alien might probe a captive specimen on an intergalactic gurney. Horror movies get their “body” subgenre, now garage rock albums get theirs. Self-interested in an entirely new sense of the term, the human form and condition is prodded and inspected from every angle over the course of the album. We get a sense of surreal detachment from the self that sets up the ever-present ennui-laden humour; the last song sees Sam announce he’s “bored of being human.\" The Bug Club seem almost suspicious of the concept of being a person - as if they’ve woken up in a costume they didn’t want to put on and cannot take off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: Garage Rock \/ Alt Rock\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tough Love St Leonards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47970739060966,"sku":"SP1727X","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/5979\/9782\/files\/TheBugClub_EverySingleMuscle_Mockup_LP_EU_2000x2000_a5e28539-d44c-4f16-be7b-9d90fb4ddee1.webp?v=1783773346","url":"https:\/\/toughlove.shop\/products\/the-bug-club-every-single-muscle","provider":"Tough Love St Leonards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
