V**GRA BOYS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM v**gr aboys

WATCH THE VIDEO FOR “MAN MADE OF MEAT” v**gr aboys OUT APRIL 25TH VIA THEIR NEWLY LAUNCHED LABEL SHRIMPTECH ENTERPRISES INFINITE ANXIETY TOUR TICKETS ON SALE NOW Stockholm post-punk band V**gra Boys (**= "ia" because of spam filters) have announced a new album v**gr aboys (** = ia here too) for April 25th via their newly launched label Shrimptech Enterprises. Co-produced by frequent collaborator Pelle Gunnerfeldt with the V**gra Boys, v**gr aboys channels the band’s sharp observational humor and unique ability to dismantle everything and nothing at the same time, while juxtaposing real life with high art. The album art, created by Leo Park, digs further into that concept. The album’s first single, “Man Made of Meat,” draws inspiration from vocalist Sebastian Murphy’s experience cruising through Walmarts while touring the U.S. with Queens of the Stone Age last year. The track is powered by masterful basslines and guitar riffs as Murphy mocks your mom’s OnlyFans and dreams of scoring free women’s sweaters from L.L.Bean. As the chaos escalates, so does Murphy’s sense of complicity, culminating in his bleak yet relatable confession: “I hate almost everything that I see, and I just wanna disappear.” The single arrives alongside an incredible video that finds Murphy as an accidental artist. Director Daniel Björkman  notes:  Imagination is gone. Creativity is a concept. Stealing is caring. Theft is priceless. Money a means to an end. Art is a lie. Computers are useless. Music is the ultimate teacher. Taste the enemy of creativity, and a better future. Artificial imagination is here. The world doesn't make sense, so why should we make images that do? (About TGE, The director / studio) The Great Exhibition is a celebration of the unexpected. Our Ideas are designed to create memories. We playfully discover the unforgettable & remarkable in life. In 2022, the band released their third album Cave World, the volcanic satire taking shots at the conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers that surrounded him. That album  saw the band’s Late Night TV debut via Jimmy Kimmel Live! along with coverage from the likes of NPR, Pitchfork, Fader, V Magazine, Needle Drop, and so much more. With v**gr boys frontman  Murphy has shifted focus inward. “The whole political thing was exhausting,” Murphy admits with a chuckle. “This is like a self-titled album but a bit simple and stupid—because that’s how I am.” The band recently announced their infinite anxiety tour of 2025. The tour kicks off at Coachella on April 12, followed by a stint across Europe and the UK in April and May. They’ll then return to the U.S. and Canada for their first headline shows in the territory in two years, beginning September 10 in Vancouver. The 23-date North American leg includes stops in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and many more (full dates below). Tickets for the tour on-sale now.
