The Bug - "Mi Lost" ft. Miss Red

New TracksContributor JonesComment

If there's a way to hold attention, it's to hint at a payoff that never arrives. The Bug's trap-dub influenced beat swells quite a few times throughout the, but the song dissolves into a formless chorus before any kind of release is ever achieved. Miss Red's vocals are a prime example of the childish delivery that has become omnipresent in British electronic music. They are passable at best and verge on grating at points. Nevertheless, The Bug's masterful manipulation of tension alone makes the song worth a listen.

The Bug- "Diss Mi Army" ft. Miss Red

Is the new Bug single featuring Miss Red completely obnoxious? Yes, but that's part of why it's so awesome. The speedy and shuffling snare drums, distorted synth bass, and dancehall beat create a pretty exciting racket. Miss Red's got a pretty sharp personality as well, coming off like a cross between early MIA and Die Antwoord's Yo-Landi Vi$$er.
