Though only a few of the seven punchy tracks on ENTERBODEGA's 'Shiny New Model' are as punishing or heavy as anything on 'Endless Scroll,' it seems like the New York band is having more fun than ever. Here's ed_and_thestone's review -
BODEGA have always gone against the grain: Their insane attention to detail and deliberate aesthetic represents the antithesis of slacker rock and bedroom pop trends. From their harsh Parquet Courts-meets-Gang of Four-meets-Television take on post-punk and art-rock to co-lead singers Ben Hozie and Nikki Belfiglio’s combative stage personas, every move, every lyric and every sound you hear is extremely calculated.
Beginning with “Shiny New Model,” an ode to their corner store namesakes and the overcharging ATMs, BODEGA take a lot of the edge off via their newfound shimmering guitar tones and less forceful basslines, giving off more of a vibe of friends jamming in a rehearsal space with no stakes.
But none of this is to say that by toning things down a tad, BODEGA lose their incisiveness or punk charisma. In fact, the opposite may be true. They don’t have to be angry all the time to get their point across, and the vulnerability they show throughout these six new songs showcases a band having a bit more fun than they’d like to let on.
