Bodega step away from the minimalist post-punk of their early releases on “All Inside Aquarium”, embracing a broader, more melodic approach built on big hooks, guitar-driven energy and classic alternative rock influences. Drawing inspiration from the late-’80s and early-’90s sounds of bands like The Stone Roses and Jane’s Addiction, the album finds the group leaning into riffs, solos and expansive songwriting.
Lyrically, the record shifts focus too. Rather than tackling overtly political themes, songwriters Ben Hozie and Nikki Belfiglio explore more personal, playful and poetic territory, bringing a different perspective to the band’s sharp observational style.
Alongside the album, Bodega have created a series of companion singles featuring exclusive non-album B-sides unavailable digitally, reflecting the band’s enthusiasm for the art of the standalone single.
