Bleary – “bug”

Chris Miller — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 04:45:17 +0000

Nashville based Bleary bring us their latest single, “bug” (with a lower-case b) but with capital letter quality sound. “bug” features heavily what feels like a wall of guitars in multiple flavors that will pique the interest of shoegazers anywhere, with four minutes that feels like just enough but leaves me waiting for the next track. Luckily there IS another track – the equally catchy yet subdued “sugar splint.”

Fans of Mitski may already be familiar with the band, as they have opened for her on her tour.

You can hear “bug” below courtesy of Soundcloud or Spotify. Their debut full length “Little Brain” is due out May 15 (yk records) but until then have plenty of back catalogue for your listening pleasure. I particularly enjoyed 2019’s “Ghost” but I’m sure you’ll have your own.

Bleary – “sugar splint”

Based on name alone, Bleary sounds like it could be something cutesy or hazy (like that feel when you wake up bleary-eyed) but they are and they aren’t. Shoegaze is funny like that because it’s a little bit of everything! Their latest is “sugar splint” and I gotta say, it sounds pretty sweet (sorry not sorry).

Written partially during the lockdown and over the past four years, the tracks have had time to germinate and (as evidenced here) really grow into something spectacular. “sugar splint” is filled to the brim with sound and lots of geetar layers and is one of those tracks that rewards subsequent listens.

You can hear “sugar splint” below from Soundcloud or over on Spotify. A new album, Little Brain will be out in May of this year.
