Humfree Bug Art

"Hawaii" / "Mirrors"

BY Alex HudsonPublished Apr 15, 2014

Swedish six-piece Humfree Bug Art aim to challenge gender stereotypes with their music, and their new single is no exception.

Soaring pop-rock A-side "Hawaii" is about a gay man wanting to approach another man in a club, and singer Arvid Jonsson described it in a statement as being "a gay love song, sung by bearded straight men."

The song's production has a hint of shimmering atmosphere, and this is emphasized by the B-side "Mirrors," which overlays dreamy melodies with watery synth ripples.

The single will come out through Strangers Candy on April 23. Hear the songs below.
