"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 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."
ZUZAX collects about 40 orphaned or unfinished Damaged Bug tunes from the past seven years, reworked into a cohesive set. The record serves as an escapist project intended to clear studio space, relax the mind, and stave off financial pressure. Themes center on hope and forgiveness, producing a tone that is both joyous and sad. Sonically it is abstract and poppy, described as "fried and sugary" and skewed in feeling. The opening cut "END OF THE WAR" is groovy and bluesy with '70s glam undertones. ZUZAX is due March 20 on Deathgod Records; OSEES will tour starting in summer with Brooklyn shows at Warsaw on October 23 and 24. The album features eleven tracks.
