Stockholm post-punk band V**gra Boys have released a new song and video for ‘The Bog Body’, a standout from their forthcoming album v**gr aboys. LISTEN HERE + WATCH HERE.

The track plays out like a chugging vintage rock track mushed through a distortion filter, saxophones riding the bass’s chord changes as little bursts of synth singe and crumble at the edges. It opens with the description of an ancient body being found preserved under ice in a bog, only to devolve into Murphy’s insistence that “You’re just jealous of her darkened skin and her dainty nose.”

It arrives with an incredible Eoin Glaister-directed, Stink London-produced video, even by V**gra Boys’ standards – a band known for their amazing visuals. In it, a body is born from the bog, a love story forms between the zombie woman and Sebastian Murphy, which eventually leads to his demise. ‘The Bog Body’ follows previous album singles ‘Uno II‘ and ‘Man Made of Meat‘ and is featured today on Apple Music’s New Music Daily playlist.

Speaking about the music video, director Eoin Glaister says, “I love bog bodies. I’m obsessed. Thank GOD someone finally wrote a song about one. Dream gig really, got to spend the day in the pub with my mates watching a Bog Lady dance to one of my favourite bands. Mammoth effort from an extraordinarily talented bunch. Up the Bog!”

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**gr aboys, 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.
