In its five years of existence, the project has evolved to become a thoughtfully crafted blend of emo, post-rock, and shoegaze elements. In 2022, Bug Seance had the opportunity to play with Philly-based emo legends\u00a0Algernon Cadwallader\u00a0on their west coast reunion tour. Bug Seance has also played alongside acts such as Glacier Veins, Glitterer, Fred Mascherino\u00a0<em>(of Taking Back Sunday)<\/em>, MAITA, and Soft Kill.

Their upcoming EP promises to be their best work yet, professionally recorded in Portland and layered with twinkly synth lines, reverberating vocals, and distorted guitar riffs. The six tracks aim to entrance the listener in varying levels of diverse soundscapes, from guttural screams to delicate vocal melodies. All of these layers speak to the band&#8217;s authenticity and, above all, their refusal to conform to one single genre. The music of Bug Seance brings to you a fully new sound&#8211; one that feels visceral, packed with emotion, and real. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On their single\u00a0<em>These Days<\/em>, lead vocalist Maria DeHart sings about maintaining confidence in the face of anxiety and self-questioning. <em>These Days<\/em> is a song about the struggle of letting go while grappling with personal hardship, fraught relationships, and an increasingly unpredictable world. Above all, the lyrics enforce the importance of leaning on one&#8217;s community during times when the ground is shaky. It&#8217;s a track that perfectly demonstrates the strength of friendship in tough times, and if there&#8217;s one thing that Bug Seance is, it&#8217;s a group of five really great friends who love making music together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band&#8217;s forthcoming EP,\u00a0\u2018I&#8217;m Right Here,\u2019 will be out\u00a0on May 17th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Portland five-piece emo\/shoegaze band Bug Seance have shared new single These Days and also announced their upcoming EP \u2018I&#8217;m Right Here\u2019.
