"Bug Eyes" is from Catch Without Arms, the third album by Dredg, released on Interscope in June 2005, the record where the band stripped their sound down to something simpler and more direct. Terry Date produced it with the band, recorded it and mixed it, and the songwriting is credited to Dredg as a whole.
Singer Gavin Hayes built the album on opposites, lyrics that grew out of conversations and arguments, arranged as two halves pushing against each other. Every song, this one included, got its own painting from Hayes and bassist Drew Roulette in the album booklet, abstract pieces tied to the tracks they illustrate, and the whole set of artwork doubled as a treasure map.
