We’re not sure if it’s a dead poets club or a bar discussion group – what is certain is that the musicians of Bodega regularly got together with friends to debate philosophical works and from this a kind of starting signal for this new collection of songs developed: united ideologically and humorously in a think tank or something like that.
? Buy BROKEN EQUIPMENT at Amazon.de
The New York band around the singer/songwriters Ben Hozie and Nikki Belfiglio, who have changed in three positions, achieve an often super-tight post-punk sound on the full-time album Numero Zwei, which is always connected to the groove and is reminiscent of classics such as Gang of Four or The Rapture .
In addition, Bodega play themselves into various moods, ranging from self-critical feminist observations and declarations of love within the band to a “lecture” on the Roman Stoic Seneca. While the band does have to let some power through the stretch of twelve songs, BROKEN EQUIPMENT stands as an album that fans of Squid and Parquet Courts should be interested in. Only the pop ballad “After Jane” for the finale should have saved Bodega.
