Los Angeles music artist Mike Green has unveiled his latest single “Bug,” a vibrant, rhythmic pop rock track that paves the way for his forthcoming album ‘Hang The Moon’. The single is imbued with a dynamic feeling of movement, a tune you can dance to, but with a darker edge as Green probes dilemmas in the manner we navigate structures that seem artificially made, still, and hauntingly familiar. The track pulses forward with cinematic drive, carrying the feeling of someone pacing inside a system they’ve begun to see too clearly. Green manages to express a mix of bewilderment and resolve as he examines how cycles repeat with near-perfect precision, how disorder can mimic design, and how the pressures of modern life blur the line between what’s imposed and what we inherit. The single will be available across all platforms, while the full ‘Hang The Moon’ album will be exclusive to spatial audio supported services such as Apple, Amazon, Tidal, and Deezer, with vinyl editions offered solely through Bandcamp.
The song hooks the listener with contrasting elements: a sharp, vibrant chorus that shines through a shadowy, suspicious mood. The rhythm section functions like a metronome for the panic inside, calm on the surface but flickering underneath. This is the sound of a person observing their surroundings and figuring out that they cannot tell if the cracks they see have always been there or if they are just now waking up to them. “Bug” serves as a signal for the concept that is the ‘Hang The Moon’ album, dealing with themes of repetition, inequality, and the friction between the things we are taught to accept and the things we feel underneath them.
