Through the glitchy fixations that tickle our most keen and wistful fulfillments, Boston-based group (T-T)b share with us their brand new single, “Bug on the Ceiling”. Made up of brothers Joey and Nick Dussault as well as Jake Cardinal, (T-T)b has been releasing music since 2015, and this single marks the last bit of teasing from the three piece as they look ahead to their upcoming LP, Beautiful Extension Cord due April 4th via Disposable America.
There is something immediate that occurs as “Bug on the Ceiling” kicks off with a foreboding chord progression, not one necessarily in debt to any malice, but rather laying out an array of options for the picking. But upon a pixelated blip, an ascension into the lofty and exciting realms of weightless synths, the power kicks in as the band erupts into a heavily distorted chorus, toying with playful electronic tinkerings and harsh, grounded noise. “Was it heaven or just a bug” becomes the main focus of the track as the band repeats this line while introducing a culmination of searing amps and implicit melodic fixations that rip through, leading us into this serene indie rock release and reminding us that the biggest questions oftentimes have a simple answer… sometimes it’s just a bug.
About the single, Joey shared, “I wrote this on the bus home from (what I thought would be) the last ever show from a band that was special to me. Thankfully it wasn’t, but they still taught me a lot about what a music scene could be, so the sentiment stands.”
You can listen to “Bug on the Ceiling” out everywhere now. Beautiful Extension Cord is set to be released April 4th via Disposable America. Pre-order the album digitally, as well as on vinyl, CD and cassette now.
