NYC’s BODEGA to release deluxe edition of latest album ‘Our Brand Could Be Yr Life’

Just a few months on from the release of their latest record, BODEGA have confirmed that they’ll be sharing a special digital deluxe version of the album later this year.

The new version of their third album ‘Our Brand Could Be Yr Life’ will be titled ‘Brand On The Run’, and is set for release on 1st November via Chrysalis Records. As well as the original album, the deluxe reissue will include seven additional tracks, four of which have not been released previously. The new tracks include a cover of a track from Milk Dick (ahem), a band that members Ben Hozie and Nikki Belfiglio played in previously, as well as a new b-side, ‘Adaptation of the Truth About Marie’, which the group have shared today.

“‘Adaptation of the Truth About Marie’ is an adaptation of the 2011 novel ‘The Truth About Marie’ by the Belgium novelist Jean-Philippe Toussaint,” Ben has said, of the track’s inspiration. “As filmmakers get to adapt novels into movies, I thought it would be fun to adapt a book into a song. I took some liberties with the plot but the psychological thrust and dramatic situation are the same (a love triangle involving death). This song is paired with our A-side single ‘Tarkovski’ because that song was also written as a response to reading a book (Tarkovsky’s ‘Sculpting in Time’). The music video is a homage to one of my favourite pastimes: reading a good book in a warm tub.” Check out the video below.
