Overview
- Bodega announced their fourth full‑length album on Monday, June 22, 2026, confirming an October 9 release via Chrysalis Records and opening pre‑orders.
- They released the melodic title single the same day and premiered a Nikki Belfiglio‑directed video built around a handcrafted miniature fish‑tank world that references songs from the record.
- Frontman Ben Hozie frames the album as a deliberate move away from the post‑punk label toward more melodic, late‑'80s/early‑'90s rock, citing influences such as The Stone Roses and Jane's Addiction and naming “Literary World” the record’s thesis song.
- The 12‑track record was recorded over roughly six weeks in Leeds with producer Matt Peel at The Nave, a studio in a deconsecrated church, and was mixed by Theo Verney in Brighton; the full tracklist includes “All Inside Aquarium,” “Oxygen,” and “Olivia.”
- Bodega will preview the album with New York shows including Central Park SummerStage on July 8 and Elsewhere Rooftop on August 19 before a UK/European run this autumn that includes a sold‑out London 100 Club date and special editions such as a Dinked cloudy blue vinyl and a limited Bandcamp release with Belfiglio’s hand‑painted artwork.
