Filled with confessional ruminations, nectarous vocals, and instrumentals wafting through desert air, 'BUG' is a work of sterling grandeur that presents Hill weaving a tapestry of earthy folk, dream-pop, and spacious Americana — orbiting between the themes of angst and the clarity of confidence patiently waiting on the other side of it. Recently featured on Pitchfork’s 50 Most Anticipated Albums of Spring 2024 list, 'BUG' presents life’s ups, downs, and in-betweens as moments of honesty trapped in sonic amber. From the splendorous pop-infused moments of 'You Know I Love You Still' and honeyed confessions of love’s impasses on 'Listen To You' and 'Frog Rinse' to the sprawling moments of observation on humanity with “No One” (all co-produced by Bartees Strange), Hill dips her spoon into life’s honey jar and licks it clean. The album features additional production from Sega Bodega and Jim-E Stack, as well as features from Nourished By Time and Donna Missal.
Accompanied with the album’s release is a new music video for one of the album’s standout tracks, 'My Day Off' featuring Nourished By Time that finds Hill at her most organic in a visually surreal take on self-worth, growth, and love through the looking glass. With a vivid visual co-directed by Hill and Sadie Wilking, the song lovingly embraces buttery harmonies, soft piano and lapping beats.
