<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/music/bodega-endless-scroll">Rough Trade Exclusive Clear Vinyl with Download and Bonus CD</a>.

Bodega is the Brooklyn-based band of guitarist Ben Hozie, synth player Nikki Belfiglio, stand-up drummer Montana Simone, lead guitarist Madison Velding-VanDam (of The Wants) and bassist Heather Elle (of Please No Radio).

Pair traditional post-punk sounds (think Parquet Courts, Ought, The Fall) with modern electronica and snappy narrative lyricism, and you've got Bodega's buzz-worthy debut album. Endless Scroll, recorded and produced by Austin Brown of Parquet Courts, debuts sharp-wit-lyrics, bouncing bass lines, and scrambling guitars. It's itchy, scratchy perfect pop that makes you want to sing along... even without knowing the words. The LP's fourteen songs offer a high-energy, humorous but earnest thirty-four minutes of listening pleasure.

Available here on Rough Trade Exclusive Clear Colored Vinyl, Indie Exclusive Teal Colored Vinyl, Standard Black Vinyl and CD. All formats come with a Bonus CD of 30+ minutes of live material.

Something of a Hero’s Quest. In the opening Procession, above a muted drummer’s march, an unseen oracle announces to you, the listener: “every morning is a chance to renew, a chance to renew.” This is your first clue, setting you upon a path not to treasure, nor a grail, nor even a long lost love, but highest of all, what Kadhja has christened the “childqueen,” that innermost self that you were truthfully and instinctively before the press of the world came crushing in. As with her 2016 debut The Visitor, the songs on Childqueen are never casual, never ditties. Instead they invite us into a world not wholly our own, a half-mythical atmosphere where past and future meet in a parallel, yet faraway, present. The lyrics and melodic lines nudge us along a path of self-discovery— or act as breadcrumbs along her own path. Everything that you hear on Childqueen was written, played, produced, and even mixed by Kadhja, who has always produced all her own music, insisting on a total vision that is nearly as difficult to co-create as a dream. The result is a soundscape the listener sinks into, a sound that combines softer enchantments with an ever-listenable experimentalism, unplaceable in genre and decade from beginning to end.
