BODEGA have announced their new LP ‘Our Brand Could Be Yr Life’ and have shared its lead single ‘Tarkovski’.Along with the release of ‘Tarkovski’ the New York band – comprised of Ben Hozie, Nikki Belfiglio, Dan Ryan, Adam See and Adam Shumski – also made the B-side to the single, ‘Adaptation of the Truth About Marie’, available exclusively from Bodega’s Bandcamp.Speaking about ‘Tarkovski’ in a press release, Hozie said: “‘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.”He continued: “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.”Directed by Luca Balser, the track’s accompanying video stars Belfiglio’s mother and quotes the climactic candle-carrying sequence in Tarkovsky’s 1983 feature-length ‘Nostalghia’ but quickly veers from studied long takes into punchy pop vogueing.BODEGA’s third LP ‘Our Brand Could Be Yr Life’ is a complete remake of Hozie and Belfiglio’s old band, BODEGA BAY’s sole album which was a 33 track self-released LP from 2015.A press release describes the album as a “concept album about the current corporate mentality of underground/indie rock, where the band simultaneously desecrate and celebrate a certain indie rock cannon, hoping to redeem its’ ‘fall from grace’ like foolish missionaries who inherited a stained formal tradition that needs to change in order to become meaningful again.”‘Our Brand Could Be Yr Life’ is set for release on April 12 via their new label home under Chrysalis Records.A post
