NYC group Bodega have announced the release their new studio album Our Brand Could Be Yr Life. Scheduled to land April 12th via Chrysalis Records, the new record is the follow-up to their 2022 LP Broken Equipment. Along with the news, the Brooklyn outfit have also shared the lead single titled ‘Tarkovski’.

With ‘Tarkovski’ Bodega have scaled back from their more in your face post-punk meets punk funk sound that fans have become accustomed to. Instead the single finds the band delving into more of an indie pop style. The instrumentation is a bit brighter, with the melodies a bit more friendlier to the mainstream arena. Of course it doesn’t mean that they have gone extreme right into the pop landscape, there is still that underlying raw grit that makes Bodega who they are, however, their sound is wider, making it not only accessible to the charts, but also TV and film placement. You can stream ‘Tarkovski’ below.
