BODEGA announce their new album All Inside Aquarium will drop on October 9 via Chrysalis Records. Along with the news, the band have shared title-track with a limited edition 7” single, featuring vinyl exclusive b-side, “Since You Ask.” All Inside Aquarium is available for pre-order on black + green vinyl along with a limited Bandcamp exclusive edition featuring hand-painted artwork by percussionist/vocalist Nikki Belfiglio.

The band will preview the album at three upcoming New York City performances, including tomorrow night at Market Hotel for New York Music Month presented WFUV, July 8 at Central Park Summerstage with Spoon and Ratboy, along with a headline set, August 19 at Elsewhere Rooftop, before a September tour of Spain, plus London and Paris performances.

Discussing “All Inside Aquarium,” guitarist/vocalist Ben Hozie notes, “This track is an attempt at an existential anthem. Pain (after it subsides) can bring you closer to a beatific perspective where dichotomy disappears and curious creativity calmly trickles out like the faucet tube in the tub —> Being there, you remember all is connected and paradoxically emerge more yourself despite recognizing you are a mere flake in the fish-tank of cosmic oneness. Nobody can really mess with your head except yourself when you take responsibility for your reality.”

The video, directed by Belfiglio, features the band green screened into the album artwork, a sculpture of the record brought to life with the assistance of a team of local New York artists. Discussing its creation, Belfiglio adds, “I spent all of October 2025 – February 2026 building a miniature world inside a fish tank for the ‘All Inside Aquarium’ album art. The miniature contains references to all of the songs on the upcoming album. All of the pieces inside the tank are made out of wood, paper mache, clay, metal, paint, and various other items. While searching for these supplies I came across a discarded green screen cloth in a dumpster near a camera shop in Jamalis Gardens. I decided then to make a gag-filled green screen music video set inside the mini-world I created to capture the playfulness I felt while making the album art.”

“The way that we listen to music is so eclectic, and that’s how we approached this album too,” says Belfiglio. “You can have a hardcore song next to a folk song, because there’s no punks on the corner waiting to beat you up.” To wit, the album includes BODEGA’s radical reinvention of Bob Dylan’s “Slow Train,” the title track from his unfairly maligned 1979 album of the same name. Hozie cites the glammy, Navarro-esque solo on that track as one of his favorite moments on the album.

For Hozie, “If there’s one thesis song, it would be ‘Literary World.’ It’s kind of a playful tune, but it’s really about how what we’re lacking is not political consciousness – because one of the most amazing things post-2016 is that the whole world has developed a political consciousness – but literary or poetic consciousness. A literary perspective is an empathetic one, because if you’re a novelist, you have to understand the thinking of all of your characters, even if they’re the most egregious people.” The album’s first single, “Pick up the Check,” exemplifies this approach.All Inside Aquarium track list:
