Bug Facer displays a joyous cacophony throughout “Fiery Demon Attacks Old Man on Bridge.” That uplifts the impression that the song title and raw exuberance of its performance came right out of late nights playing D&D or some other fantasy RPG among bandmates (nevermind the photo) who later undertake the ritual of writing a song based on the marathon gaming session. This of course following having witnessed the surreal majesty of surf rock mutants Daikaiju and the inspired costume synthwave heros Magic Sword. Except that Bug Facer sounds like a psychedelic rock band that decided to deconstruct King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard into a primal essentials and blasted it back out in spirited lo-fi garage punk fashion including distorted vocals like shouted incantations. It’s a thorny mess that manages to also be hypnotic and infectious and unlike any obvious musical touchstones.
