Viagra Boys have laid out plans for their fourth album.
The Swedish post-punk group will drop 'viagr aboys' (yes, it's an intentional typo) through their newly launched Shrimptech Enterprises label on April 25. Co-produced by the band and frequent collaborator Pelle Gunnerfeldt, it marks their first LP in three years, following 2022's 'Cave World'.
Alongside the news, the six-piece have shared the record's opening track, Man Made Of Meat, a rock-orientated offering with provocative spoken-word vocals. It draws on frontman Sebastian Murphy's experiences at Walmart during the group's US tour with Queens Of The Stone Age last year.
Head below to view the bizarre accompanying video, which adds to the song's subversive aesthetic. Director Daniel Björkman said:
"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? The Great Exhibition (TGE/the director and studio) is a celebration of the unexpected. Our Ideas are designed to create memories. We playfully discover the unforgettable and remarkable in life."
Viagra Boys will play Californian music festival Coachella in April, before embarking on the UK and European leg of their Infinite Anxiety Tour later that month. The 23-date North American run will kick off in September, with shows scheduled through to early November. Tickets are on sale now.
