The Swedish post-punks beloved by all except email spam filters, Viagra Boys, are back with their fourth album. Out April 15 via their own newly launched Shrimptech Enterprises, viagr aboys is previewed today by lead single "Man Made of Meat."
The follow-up to 2022's Cave World was co-produced by frequent collaborator Pelle Gunnerfeldt. "The whole political thing was exhausting," frontman Sebastian Murphy admitted of its predecessor's satirical take-downs of anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists. "This is like a self-titled album but a bit simple and stupid — because that's how I am."
Murphy drew inspiration for the sprightly, riff-driven lead track from his observations cruising through Walmarts across the US while on tour with Queens of the Stone Age. "Man Made of Meat" arrives alongside a music video directed by Daniel Björkman, which you can check out below, along with the album tracklist details. Viagra Boys have Canadian concerts scheduled in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal later this year.
