Bug Jazz was born in 2023 out of a creative exercise during a five-day-long improvised recording project in Upstate NY. The group had created a map of fictional island to 'play through', the Western half of which was inhabited by subterranean human-sized bugs. What might these bugs listen to? We figured perhaps some kind of atonal music bearing similarities to elevator jazz. Since these initial sessions, Bug Jazz has grown from a performance exercise into a recording/performance collective that blurs the line between live performance, recording, and mixing by playing directly through a 4-track tape machine. We aim for an aesthetic that's 40% spiritual free jazz and 30% Andrew W.K. 'the only thing better than a guitar solo is a guitar solo played on a guitar that looks like a slice of pizza'.
Cole is a recording engineer and producer that works primarily on noisy and experimental rock, hardcore, and improvised records. Cole has also previously played guitar and drums in the Chicago-based alternative rock band Blinker. Jasen is a guitarist for the seven-piece NYC-based tweemo band Here For You, and previously fronted the seven-piece emo group Faced Out. Josh is a singer-songwriter and improviser who released their solo record 'Carps in the Mud' via Atlanta Zone Records in 2022.
