Bugskull

**Bugskull** is the long-running psychedelic solo project of Portland-based musician Sean Byrne, a staple of the city’s DIY experimental scene since the ’90s. Known for his hazy, home-recorded soundscapes, Byrne blends warped guitars, trippy electronics, and lo-fi wizardry to create surreal, genre-blurring jams. His work—ranging from fried folk doodles to cosmic noise collages—feels like stumbling into a dusty, kaleidoscopic attic of the mind.

With a prolific discography spanning decades, Bugskull’s recent output (like *Hidden Mountain* and *Snakland*) continues his tradition of off-kilter, cassette-ready charm. Collaborations (see *Bügsküll & The Big White Clôud*) and compilations (*Distracted Snowflake Volume Two*) showcase his enduring role as a low-key legend in the underground, where time might not be his "fried," but creativity sure is.
