Viagra Boys unveil new single "Creatures"

02 December 2020, 12:25 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Viagra Boys have released their new single "Creatures" as a second preview of their forthcoming album Welfare Jazz.

"Creatures" lands after October's lead single "Ain't Nice", and arrives with another SNASK-directed video that picks up where "Ain't Nice" left off.

Viagra Boys' Welfare Jazz album will follow their 2018 debut Street Worms, and features production from Matt Sweeney (Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Run the Jewels), Justin and Jeremiah Raisen (Yves Tumor, Kim Gordon, Sky Ferreira) and past collaborators Pelle Gunnerfeldt and Daniel Fagerström (The Hives, The Knife).

Lead singer Sebastian Murphy says of the record, "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. 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."

"Creatures" is out now. Viagra Boys' Welfare Jazz album will be released via YEAR0001 on 8 January 2021, and is available to pre-order now.
