Stockholm post-punk band V**gra Boys (= “ia” because of spam filters) announced a new album last month, and today they’re back with the next single ‘Uno II’. LISTEN HERE + WATCH HERE.

‘Uno II’ redirects vocalist Sebastian Murphy’s take on conspiratorial anxiety – shifting from human meat bags to finding it embodied in his beloved dog. The Italian greyhound, Uno II, spent a year going back and forth to the vet with dental issues, and Murphy couldn’t help but imagine what the dog must be thinking. “He goes to this place, then wakes up in some weird room, and he’s missing his teeth,” he says.

While Murphy never explicitly suggests that ‘Uno II’ is a stand-in for the anarcho-primitivist meme obsessives and conspiracy theorists he’s skewered in the past, the connection is hard to miss. Over chiming sweeps of guitar, drummer Tor Sjödén’s shimmering shuffle, and whispers of Oskar Carls’ flute, Murphy briefly turns the obsessive thoughts inward: “I seem like such a bitch / When I talk about Swedish politics.” The track follows the first single, ‘Man Made of Meat‘.

Available April 25 via their newly launched label Shrimptech Enterprises, v**gr aboys was co-produced by frequent collaborator Pelle Gunnerfeldt with the V**gra Boys. The album 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 cover, featuring an original artwork painted by Leo Park, digs further into that concept.

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**gra 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. Tickets for the tour on-sale now.
