SLUGBUG / Narthex EP / Master tape

[@vwestlife]

Every month is truck month!

[@TylerHartman]

Haha, caught in the wild. Love ya VWL!

[@FIESTA_GEORGE]

wake up babe, new slugbug

[@Mechanicoid]

I swear, you have some of the highest quality production. The music is great, and it's all so crystal clear.

[@pdmillar]

Would you care to sign a petition to ban shoegazing forever?

[@Mechanicoid]

@@pdmillar My best bud, may disown me for that.

[@FoxTick]

New fan here! Why. the hell am I JUST NOW discovering this? Your music is scratching an itch that has been itching for YEARS. My love of Zappa, Devo, Oingo Boingo, Cardiacs, Mr. Bungle, et al. have all been realized in musical form. I just picked up this EP and 0xBAADF00D on vinyl. I'm hoping Truck Month gets repressed. I can't stop listening!

[@pdmillar]

Thanks! There was only ever one set of "strike-off" stampers for T.M. done in 2012, which were unusable/damaged after the re-press run. So, it needs re-cut from the tape, new metal parts, etc, considering it but not for a while

[@therealvbw]

You could look into Snakefinger if you still want more to chew on. Check out The Man in the Dark Sedan.

[@pdmillar]

@therealvbw He's my favorite guitar player. Love the mario soundfont covers btw

[@FoxTick]

@therealvbw I love Snakefinger! Also a big fan of the Residents. I all but wore out my Greener Postures cassette back in the day. I do hear a lot of his influence in Paul's music.

[@フォグマシン]

Sounds very clear and like it was made in the late 70s to early 80s, which I love

[@vvvvaaaacccc]

great work, and good to hear new stuff from you. I wish the technical debt and legacy systems that I work with sounded like this!

[@allthedeadhorses]

I've been watching you for 17 years, since "Computers Again", love seeing your approach, writing, integration and the eventual execution of your ideas.

[@pdmillar]

@@allthedeadhorses "Eventual" is the key word here

[@deepsoy165]

slugbug is life

[@othello7]

I'm always surprised by the incredible timing with which mr bug drops his fine tunes. I bought two of these in the 7" analog disc variety. love this stuff

[@therealvbw]

Can't believe I missed this ;D Very nice production.

[@direct3d]

yay!

[@CHEEPHARDWARE]

Fuck yeah!!!!

[@CHEEPHARDWARE]

Time to switch to the tube setup to listen to this

[@WeAreYU]

Paul - I just came across this! I don't search for new music much anymore, but I certainly enjoyed this and did get up and jump around a bit listening to it. You are a genius songwriter and great producer! I'm so happy you are still at it. The only thing I want to complain about is, as I'm sure you know, "i before e, except after c". I expect a correction in your opening note! Thanks again for being on the planet during the approximate same time that I am. Best to you!

[@pdmillar]

Thanks Dwain, I really appreciate this! I fixed the copy - Oll Korrect!

[@SylphDS]

pdmillar's alive! 😲🤩

[@FluffyBunski]

Happy halloween slugbug!

[@jonh2119]

I like the music, but the sound quality is Amazing! 🖤 Didn't know my speakers could sound this good. Thank you!

[@julievideoarchive7482]

keeping me shocked for i think 12 years at this point. long live paul

[@ThePerradox]

Cardiacs group sent me here. Lovely tunes these. Laudation!

[@SynthRay]

This music scratches an itch that none of the other music on my playlist can reach. Great stuff as usual!

[@MonsieurHerrMusic]

Sunshine Girls all dig The Slugbugs

[@pdmillar]

Tipper Gore PMRC warning but for permanently paradigm-shifting German art rock

[@therealvbw]

Beef sticks, buh-abies beef sticks

[@ostsan8598]

Man, I'm digging it. Optical Eyes was my favorite track.

[@erich1394]

I'm so happy you made this!!

[@TheGroovySideOftheTube]

LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT The man with tape scalpel and synths is back!

[@TheScramblerTV]

holy shit new slugbug just dropped

[@theworldscoolestloner]

the bug never sleeps !!

[@zoey_cairns]

New SLUGBUG yes! Will Stupid Rock ever get a repress, I'm so gutted I missed that one

[@loafoid]

awesome synth work on Optical Eyes DUDE!!- wicked set in Montreal last month

[@pdmillar]

Thank you. It was lovely playing in Canada for the first time. Most of the synth parts on that track were the same monophonic ARP Odyssey overdubbed between 4 and 7 times, with the harmony written out beforehand. Polymoog and Prophet-5 only on the intro.

[@zero_percent]

A glow in the dark.

[@doordotpng]

TRAVEL THROUGH TIME i'm searching backwards for it TRAVEL THROUGH TIME i'm searching backwards for it

[@dummoneyrecords991]

[@tapewolf]

My one complaint is that it's much harder to watch the tape edits at 30 IPS.

[@joog_is_not_okay]

now you just have to look EXTRA CLOSE. which you probably should have been doing anyways

[@pdmillar]

They were quite a bit easier to make accurately!

[@tapewolf]

@@pdmillar Yeah, that occurred to me afterwards.
