During spring or March to be more precias this year the Swedish post-punk band V**GRA BOYS surprise us with a drop of the new EP "Common Sense". The EP was very good, excellent lovely mix of styles where the title tune sounded like R.E.M., more old fashioned Rock song and one of the tunes was more like the sound the we have gotten used to. A tune where they flirted with 60's jazz.
Now they have announced that they will be back with a new album in January next year with a sophomore outing titled "Welfare Jazz". For the album they reteamed with past collaborators like Pelle Gunnerfeldt and Daniel Fagerström (THE HIVES, THE KNIFE), also with some new addtions of new producers like Matt Sweeney (Bonnie “Prince” Billy, RUN THE JEWELS) and Justin and Jeremiah Raisen (YVES TUMOR, Kim Gordon, Sky Ferreira). Singer Sebastian Murphy explained: “I’m not good at talking about politics, but everything is political when it comes down to it".
“I’d rather write a song about being defeated, which usually comes from a real place and says a lot,” he added. “We wrote these songs at a time when I had been in a long-term relationship, taking drugs every day, and being an asshole.
“I didn’t really realise what an asshole I was until it was too late, and a lot of the record has to do with coming to terms with the fact that I’d set the wrong goals for myself.”
Along with these new they have shared a new song called "Ain’t Nice" (See it below). The new tune has the more common "V**GRA BOYS" sound over it where the video features Murphy doing a drunken asshole rendition of the "Bittersweet Symphony" style video, as he barrels down an idyllic Swedish street terrorizing everyone. That is, until a little kid tases him and he time travels to the 1700s.
Today's tune "Ain't Nice" is taken from the upcoming album "Welfare Jazz", set for release on January 8, 2021 via YEAR0001
