Sara Bug - "Ride On Sundys"

We've been swooning for Sara Bug's particular blend of alt-country, indie rock, and alt-pop ever since we first heard "Rosebank" back in January. The more we hear from her upcoming album, the more devoted we get to our fandom. "Ride On Sundys" further cements that. It's a perfect blend of those three genres. It has the lilt of pop, the edge of indie rock, and the twang of country. Bug is blending these sounds together expertly. I want to call it a perfect pop song, but it's no more pop than the other two sounds, so it can't quite be that.
In a press release, Sara Bug says of the new song:
"It’s a play on words I guess. Sitting inside writing on a sunday afternoon instead of out in the sun driving or riding or at the lake with my friends. Ride on Sundys is about the guilt of being sad and trying to bandage it with isolation."
You can listen to "Ride On Sundys" below. Sara Bug's self-titled debut will be out May 14 on Egghunt Records. You can pre-order a copy over at Bandcamp. For more on Sara Bug, check out the artist on Facebook and Instagram.
