UK Bug Eyed announces their debut EP We Talk Thunderstorms Not Showers (Part 1) due February 12th via Atlantic Records. Ahead of the album’s arrival, they have shared single “Snug as a Bug.” The song 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. Bug Eyed, includes south-west Londoners Blue O’Grady and Charlie Sale
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 with driving guitars and sonic experimentation.
After shows supporting Sad Night Dynamite and performing at the Pitchfork Festival in Paris, Bug Eyed are gearing for their next tour. From late February 2025, they’ll join Lola Young on her UK and European tour.
