Bodega - Brand On The Run (2024) [Hi-Res]

The expanded edition features seven tracks, four previously unreleased, including “Cry When Yr Young,” a cover of the defunct New York band Milk Dick that Ben Hozie and Nikki Belfiglio used to played regularly in their early days as Bodega Bay, and three limited edition B-sides.

“‘Adaptation of the Truth About Marie’ is an adaptation of the 2011 novel, The Truth About Marie by the Belgium novelist Jean-Philippe Toussaint,” notes Hozie. “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.”
