New York City punks Bodega announce new album Our Brand Could Be Yr Life and share playful new single Tarkovski

Bodega.

Bodega have announced the arrival of their third album, Our Brand Could Be Yr Life, due out on April 12.

Alongside the announcement, the NYC punks have shared the new single Tarkovski, alongside a visually arresting music video set within a forest. 

In addition to the release, the band have dropped a B-side to the single, titled Adaptation of the Truth About Marie, which is available to hear over on their official Bandcamp.

Joint lead vocalist Ben Hozie says of the new track: "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."

Later this spring, Bodega will be setting off on a US tour, kicking off on April 19 in Boston. They'll also be playing at several festivals including Wide Awake festival in the UK and Tomavistas Festival in Madrid.
