Insect foleys! That pulled me directly in swiftly before i got knocked in the back of the head with heavy guitars! I love that the heavy fuzz sounds like a flight of bumblebees. The section at 0:56 with the light piano opens the sky.

And then 12/8 beat? (or something like that) - that was a cool transition. I like the variations of transitions! That heavy riffing at 2:16 was an interesting choice and that worked very well with the dynamics.

Who knew someone could make me welcome all the insects that come with the summer?

Super cool perc and rhythm. I like the little insect synth solo interlude

Refuge in the insect world is a fun idea

Also really liked the crunchy guitar buildup

This was so much fun! Love how the insects are buzzing as much as the guitars. So creative

Rockin' fuzzy pop song! The first half reminded me of Weezer with the lighthearted doubled vocals, triplet rhythm and heavy rat fuzz powerchord guitars. The bridge takes it into a different direction for a nice change of pace. Cool modulation into the last chorus.
Hope you still keep making music after turning into an insect, this one rocks!

Bugs! This is really fun. I love the pairing of the saw swarm with the literal insect swarm. Great guitar tone.

Thanks for listening!  Distorted guitars and insect sounds (as well as synths that sound insect-like to me) seem to go together surprisingly well.  Bugs seem to be inevitable.  I suppose we may as well try to embrace them on some level.

Thanks!  When it comes to insects, I suppose if you can't beat them, you may as well try to join them.  If they'll have you.

  It was fun trying to find synth sounds that reminded me of insects.  And then combining them with the crunchy guitars seemed to work pretty well.

Nothing like some good insect sounding tones.  Thanks for listening!

  The insects really do outnumber us by a considerable margin.  And I don't think they care much one way or another if we're here or not.  It kind of really is their world.  Thanks for listening!

Thanks!  It was a buzzy kind of week for sure.

Thanks!  I suspect having multiple legs might actually make it easier to play instruments, if you knew what you were doing with them. 

Thanks!  While I don't always enjoy insects, buzzing sounds are pretty cool, I think.

Fuzzy and bouncy and fun. Really like the main fuzz tone on your guitars. *Love* the bug layering in the prechorus, especially the right-channel (pitched down cicadas?). High piano in the chorus is sweet and light and a great contrast with all the buzzing. The flies in the bridge did get to me (bug problems at an old apartment), but the nasal brassy synth is another nice contrast.

"Gazing at vast fields of view with my compound eyes" made me laugh. And I love the dropout to just the guitar right before the ending, like a rev-up into the song's sweetest melody in the outro

Thanks!  If it helps any, I think those are actually bees buzzing rather than flies.  Not a fan of flies either.

the fuzz is not only awesome, but it's thematically consistent with the insects.

triplet rhythm is thematically consistent with 6 legged insects

G E N I U S

really enjoying the fuzzy buzzy guitars! got me doing the jitterbug over here!

There's probably a reason why fuzz and buzz rhyme.  Plus bumblebees are fuzzy.  Definitely felt the insect vibes.

Even bugs like to dance sometimes.  Apparently bees communicate through dance, which is super cool.

The jitterbug is the most appropriate possible dance for this song, I think.  Thanks for listening!
