“Ladybug” is a fun, no-frills rocker bound to get stuck in your head. Acoustical shuffles and a surf-friendly guitar twang complement suave vocals, gearing toward the irresistible “little ladybug,” chorus. The bouncy piano-laden bridge at 01:24 is another excellent moment. The “when she appears,” guitar-forward emphasis stands out, especially. Many of Wes Chiller’s formative music experiences growing up took place between surf sessions in Southern California towns, a fact that leaves audible remnants via a surf-friendly likability and knack for easy-going melodic charm.
