German producer Bug Lover emerges with his striking debut album, a 13-track opus blending cyber-ambient, experimental electronica and avant-garde pop.
Self-released, ‘Debug My Love’ ventures far from conventional high-tech gloss, instead carving out a deeply human narrative through machine-made tools. Recorded at the legendary Studio Nord in Bremen, Bug Lover enlists a roster of world-class collaborators, including Mexican experimentalist Sleeperlow, ethereal vocalist Ashesndreams and anime icon Yukie Dong.
Our pick is the second track ‘Arpeggionata’ – a standout piece that channels the restless innovation of early Brainfeeder releases. Bubbling arpeggios mimic the synaptic hum of the human mind embellished with a swirling bed of free-jazz rhythms. The track ascends into a haunting symphony of spectral chants, resonating like echoes from a forgotten dimension.
‘Debug My Love’ is scheduled for release 6 December. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
