Bodega deliver new single "Thrown"

Bodega announced their Broken Equipment album in October last year with lead outing "Doers", and now the group have unveiled a second cut from the record titled "Thrown".

The band's Ben Hozie says of the new release, ""Thrown" was an attempt at a self-portrait track. The older I get the less I trust my own thoughts and perceptions of self ——> I realise most of my values and judgments come from the records, films, books, and advertisements I have consumed my whole life. Recognising this ‘thrown-ness,’ while slightly disturbing, has been a source of inspiration for my creative mind. If the mind can only output what has been presented —> provide it with the proper input. You can remake yourself entirely at the drop of a (top)hat. The inputs I selected for this lyric: James Joyce and Bob Dylan. The music, to me, is a synthesis of many of the stylistic motifs our group has developed over the past few years: syncopated bass over a slow-shifting sea of guitar harmonics, violent guitar spams with machine influenced but human-played drums; plus male/female vox alternating between spoken text raps and melody."

Broken Equipment will follow the band's 2018 debut Endless Scroll, and was inspired by a book club after the band grouped together to study the works of various philosophers in early 2020.

In 2019 Bodega released their Shiny New Model mini-album.
