Introducing Slugbug
You’ve got to trust your record store clerks; it’s the heart-and-soul of music recommendations. One of the Austin purveyors turned me on to Paul Millar, who works under the moniker of Slugbug. It’s really hard to put the music in any certain genre, as it’s fairly schizophrenic in a fascinating sort of way. His main muse seems to be electronica, but he blends it with elements of oddball pop and post-punk. He’s recently released his Layer of Abstraction EP, with more tunes set to come soon on his Truck Month LP (we’ll give more details as they come). For now, revel in the curious ways of Slugbug; you’ll be glad to find such a unique artist alive and well in Austin. And you can check out a rad old-school type video of the track HERE.
