Every Wednesday, the ugly hug shares a playlist personally curated by an artist/band that we have been enjoying. This week, we have a collection of songs put together by UK-based group Bug Teeth.

Starting back in 2018 as a solo project by front-person PJ Johnson, Bug Teeth has expanded into the ethers, a functional force of members and a whimsical array of sounds and spirits that culminate in the natural beauty all around us. Their latest EP, Lucky Me, Lucky Mud transcends any defined boundaries, showing a band that has been established in their strengths while also embracing what may be beyond; ecstatic percussion, inventive tension, experimental atmospheres and literary thematic excursions all brought to life within a forceful DIY spirit. With the release of a new single, “Landscaping” earlier this year as well as a soundtrack by PJ called “Things That Grow” for a film exploring the microscopic world of bacteria, Bug Teeth are in the works of finishing new music to be released in the near future.

Today, the members of Bug Teeth curated a playlist for your listening enjoyment.
