Washer – the indie rock duo of Mike Quigley and Kieran McShane – have unveiled a new song, ‘Come Back as a Bug’. It’s the title track to their new digital 7″, which features last month’s ‘You’re Also a Jerk’ and marks the band’s first new music since 2023’s Improved Means To Deteriorated Ends. Listen below.
“‘Come Back As A Bug’ is about externalizing depression as a way to act outside of it,” vocalist and guitarist Mike Quigley explained in a statement. “To carry on even if out of spite. It’s not necessarily optimistic, but I think there is a sort of agency in slogging through the rough shit, waiting for the sun to explode and wrap up this whole thing.”
