The Bug Club announce new album, share “Jealous Boy”

The Bug Club have announced a new album, Very Human Features, which will be out June 13 via Sub Pop. It’s their fourth album — their second for Sub Pop — and they made it with producer Tom Rees, who also worked on 2024’s On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System.

The album does not include their recent single “Have U Ever Been 2 Wales,” but they’ve just shared the first single from the album, “Jealous Boy.” It’s a little more pastoral than you might be used to from The Bug Club, though don’t worry, there is a little shouting in the chorus. Listen below.
