Shady Bug, the St. Louis band that are the latest signees to Julia’s War Recordings, will release their latest LP I wanted to be there at the end of this month. Holy crap, it’s October. Anyway, they’ve already shared the lead single “my night routine,” and today, they’ve followed it up with the new single “seed.”
“seed” begins scraggly and discordant. Whirly guitars and pounding drums come in spurts like an unrelenting panic attack. When the track eventually slows, trying to catch its breath, there’s some emotionally clarity. “You planted a seed I never wanted you to/ I just wanna feel fine, but now it all seems so screwed,” Hannah Rainey sings. The short but pungent track captures that frantic feeling of realizing someone’s temporary presence makes a much longer impact on one’s personal reality. Watch the video for “seed” below.
I wanted to be there is out 10/30 on Julia’s War/Bee Side Cassettes. Pre-order it here.
