Bodega are streaming their latest track Jack In Titanic.
Like the superb previous single How Did This Happen?, it will feature on the New York band’s debut album Endless Scroll, which is due for release on June 1st. “Jack In Titanic is about learned male behavior and the nostalgia for it,” explains Ben Hozie.
“One day I realized that my unspoken internal values ‘of what it means to be a man’ were inherited from the dubious fantasy of the movies, particularly my childhood models: James Bond, Jackie Chan, and Jack (in Titanic).”
“Jack, of course, is also an archetypal rock and roll hero: road warrior, poor yet able to maneuver class, loyal friend, incredible dancer, fantastic lover (in the back of cars), wonderful with graphic design (could do his own cover art), and weapon against the aristocracy (and all things bureaucratic and mannered).”
