Viagra Boys - Welfare Jazz (Vinyl)

Viagra Boys - Welfare Jazz (Vinyl + Bonus CD)

Ever the band drenched in satire, The Viagra Boys return with their brand of horn-filled, searing post-punk and rejection of standard genre tropes to deftly lay waste to society's normalization of toxic masculinity, racism, misogyny, classism, and self-obsession. Even the album's title has a layer of satirical depth; the transliteration from Swedish of the term used for the government's financial support of jazz musicians cuts to the quick of institutionalized classism and prioritization.

The new album was produced by Matt Sweeney (Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Run the Jewels), Justin and Jeremiah Raisen (Yves Tumor, Kim Gordon, Sky Ferreira) as well as past collaborators Pelle Gunnerfeldt and Daniel Fagerström (The Hives, The Knife).
