Bodega sign to Chrysalis for their third studio album, Our Brand Could Be Yr Life
New York band Bodega have signed to Chrysalis Records (Laura Marling, Liz Phair). The news coincides with the announcement of their third album, Our Brand Could Be Yr Life.
Bodega have also shared their brand new new single, "Tarkovski", which appeared in the set during their last UK tour. In addition, a B-side to the single, "Adaptation of the Truth About Marie", is available now exclusively from Bodega's Bandcamp.
Ben Hozie, joint lead vocalist of Bodega said about the themes behind their new single: "'Tarkovski’ is a pun on the famous Russian director and skiing; I was enamoured by his book “Sculpting in Time” but found that many of his professed rules and guidelines for filmmaking were broken by his own filmmaking practices. Theory never really gets at what you want and applying theory to the chaotic practice of art making (while still useful and essential) is like skiing down a wild slope."
The new single is accompanied by a visually arresting music video, directed by Luca Balser and starring Nikki Belfiglio’s mother.
Our Brand Could Be Yr Life, is a full ‘remake’ of Hozie and Belfiglio’s old band BODEGA BAY’s sole LP which was a self-released 33 track album from 2015, and follows on from Bodega's second studio album, Broken Equipment, which was released in 2022.
