Bodega announce second album with first single "Doers"

"Doers" is Bodega's first new release since 2019's Shiny New Model mini-album, and arrives with a video directed by Bodega co-founder Nikki Belfiglio and the band's Ben Hozie.

Hozie says of the new single, "Sometime on tour near the end of 2019 I found myself reading and watching a plethora of self-help books and Youtube vids. This started from a genuine desire for spiritual and physical improvement but I soon started noticing how advertisements everywhere were utilising the language of self-help. I was being programmed."

""You don’t have time to cook dinner tonight because you are too busy crushing it as a doer —> You are creating next level content and don’t have time to hang out w/ friends or family this weekend so download this app and have ready-made food delivered to you for 29.99." This ideology of constant productivity forces you to treat your own body, mind, time, and friends as products to mine ——> As a result the world becomes a smaller, duller place. All artists (all people) desire to be productive : "Function is the key". Yet... If a photo is taken of you in the woods: for all millennia you’ll always be stuck in the woods."

Broken Equipment will follow the band's 2018 debut Endless Scroll, and was inspired by a book club after the band grouped together to study the works of various philosophers in early 2020.
