beaming Share “BUGBITE” Single + Video

beaming, the LA-based  indie-pop duo of Braden Lawrence and Derek Ted, today have shared their latest single “BUGBITE.” The shimmering, bouncy track is the final preview of their new album horseshoe, out this Friday, April 17th, via Rose Garden.

The band explains:

“Rock n’ roll in a fun guitar tuning. This is a song about finding balance in a relationship and figuring out your capacities and willingness to give.”

“BUGBITE” follows album singles “Stuck (here)” and “say goodbye,” which have earned praise and support from FLOOD, Earmilk, Chorus.fm, Magnet, Argus Far, and more.

beaming are currently on tour with Field Medic–upcoming dates include San Francisco, CA’s 4 Star Theater, Los Angeles, CA’s Scribble, and more. Full routing is below, and tickets are on sale now.

Over the ten captivating tracks on horseshoe, beaming’s razor-sharp pop production and soul-searching lyricism capture the spirit of embracing joy and rejecting rigidity even in moments of emotional turbulence. After a busy year opening for Vundabar, Runnner, Goon, and more, beaming has found their footing both on the road and in the studio. The result is a band that knows exactly who they are and an album that cuts straight to the heart of what makes pop music so disarming.

horseshoe is the follow-up to the band’s debut release, beaming, which earned praise and support from Paste, The Daily Music Report, Our Culture, and more. The EP introduced Derek and Braden’s new collaborative effort with four infectious songs at the intersection of pop, rock, and folk. This comes as no surprise given the band’s pedigree: Braden spent over a decade playing in Philadelphia-based indie darling The Districts, while Derek is a solo artist and prolific producer who has lent his talents to rising stars like Odie Leigh, Runnner, and Field Medic.
