A rather mysterious and obscure gem, ‘Caught The Bug’ showcases the best trait Mike and Mandy have to offer; inspiring storytelling. Penning a warning piece about narcissistic relationships, the Los Angeles-based duo layers nuanced and crepuscular indie pop with cinematic textures and spacious tones, making for a record that’s unexpected, surprising and frankly quite hypnotising.
Ample attention is given to the lyrical theme; as Mandy explains: “It’s an Oliver Stone movie in 3 1/2 minutes” – meaning that what we can expect is a storyline that’s intense, striking and provocative, allowing for a certain degree of relatability and mystery. If that sounds intriguing, then the next step is delving into ‘Caught The Bug’, where Mike uses witty and inventive sound designs to perfectly complement such relevant songwriting.
Packaged with nostalgic and melancholic harmonies, the track fearlessly takes the listeners on a lies-filled journey, highlighting the issues with narcissistic personalities and the way they can disguise themselves as the victims.
