Fragile bedroom pop woven with field recordings and tape hiss. It feels like a secret shared in a whisper, perfect for quiet mornings and solitary winter walks.
Bedbug sounds like the physical manifestation of a long-lost scrapbook. It is music that feels small in the best way possible, utilizing the limitations of home recording to create an immense sense of intimacy. The songs are often built on a foundation of simple acoustic strumming or primitive drum machine beats, but they are elevated by a dense layer of 'found' sounds: the sound of a room breathing, muffled conversations, or the tactile click of a tape recorder being turned on and off.
What truly distinguishes Dylan Citron's work is the way it treats memory as a tangible texture. The production is intentionally brittle and dusty, making the melodies feel like they are being recovered from an old cassette found at the bottom of a drawer. There is a specific focus on the mundane beauty of domestic life and the quiet ache of growing older, delivered through vocals that never rise above a gentle, confessional murmur.
Start with 'If I Got Smaller Grew Wings and Flew Away for Good.' It is the definitive statement of the project's early lo-fi era, capturing a perfect balance between naive pop hooks and experimental ambient textures. It is the ideal companion for anyone who finds comfort in the quiet, slightly lonely corners of the indie-pop world.
