"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's 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."

STAFF COMMENTS
Barry says: John bloody Dwyer eh? Not content with smashing out the greatest psychedelic rock in the ol' OSEES, his Damaged Bug project sees the more off-piste electronic excursions come to light, and this one features a host of banging unfinished b-sides oddities we've never heard before.TRACK LISTING
