The video for Viagra Boys’ new single is zombie-themed. At the end of the world, Sebastian Murphy knows his place: “I’m just a bag of meat,” the Viagra Boys frontman declares, flashing a brief smile before a raspy cough shakes it away. On “viagr aboys” (out April 25 via Shrimptech Enterprises), Murphy shifts his focus inward, trading the political satire of 2022’s “Cave World” for a self-deprecating exploration of his own absurdity. Lead single “Man Made of Meat” captures the band’s chaotic essence, with Murphy taunting your mom’s Only Fans, dreaming of free sweaters from LL Bean, and letting out a full-fledged burp, all before summing up his ethos: “I hate almost everything that I see, and I just wanna disappear.” Embracing the nonsense of existence, Murphy finds solace in navigating life’s messy, stupid continuum with humour, self-awareness, and a touch of nihilism.
“The Bog Body”, is the third single from the forthcoming album ‘viagr aboys’, due april 25th on Shrimptech Enterprises.
