OSEES‘ frontman John Dwyer has announced his first Damaged Bug album in over five years. It’s titled ZUZAX and will be out March 20 via his own Deathgod Records. Here’s John with the deets:
40 or so Damaged Bug tunes from the past seven years were orphaned / unfinished, which is pretty rare for me. I just kept having other things going on & life kept getting in the way. And frankly, the songs were all over the place so I didn’t see a thread in there, but in light of current events in the world, I feel like It’s every artist’s calling to construct personal messages cloaked in moments of escapism. That’s what this record is for me–something to clear the decks a little bit in my studio, relax my mind, and keep the wolf from the door. It’s a bit of a joyous/sad record dealing with hope and forgiveness, two things which I hope end up more in my life.
It’s abstract and poppy, fried and sugary.
It exactly how I feel at the moment fried and skewed.
Good luck out there and I hope this turns off the torrent for you, for a moment.
You can check out the album’s opening cut, “END OF THE WAR,” a groovy, bluesy, fun number with ’70s glam undertones. Listen below.
Meanwhile, OSEES will be on tour starting in the summer, with two Brooklyn shows at Warsaw on October 23 & 24.
