New York City rock-and-roll quartet BODEGA have announced their fourth full-length album All Inside Aquarium for an October 9th release via Chrysalis Records.

Alongside the news, they have released the record’s title-track single along with a limited edition 7” single, featuring vinyl exclusive B-side, “Since You Ask.” All Inside Aquarium is available for pre-order, with a Dinked exclusive featuring 7” single and Cloudy Blue vinyl, along with a limited Bandcamp exclusive edition featuring hand-painted alt artwork, by the band's percussionist/vocalist Nikki Belfiglio. Fans are expected a treat for when the records comes out.

Discussing “All Inside Aquarium,” guitarist/vocalist Ben Hozie attempts to explain the reasoning behind the title track; “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 accompanying 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 maiche, 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.”

With All Inside Aquarium, BODEGA stray further from their perceived post-punk origins. The group’s goal was, “Let's go back to melodic tunes, let's be more of a proper rock band,” Hozie explains. Sonically, the band aimed for “this late ‘80s/early ‘90s Stone Roses-meets-Jane’s Addiction thing, with more riffing and guitar solos.”


Where BODEGA’s previous LPs were largely recorded with the band members rarely in the same room, the group spent a month and a half in the UK working with producer Matt Peel (Yard Act, Eagulls) at the Nave, his studio set up in a deconsecrated church in Leeds (also featured in the album’s artwork). They played live, successfully capturing the energy of their live shows in a way that previous albums hadn’t quite nailed. The album was then mixed in Brighton with Theo Verney (English Teacher, Lime Garden).

Inspired by a small number of corner shops in NYC, Bodega formed in 2018, they have released four albums to date, including the upcoming "All Inside Aquarium". The band are fronted by founding vocalists Ben Hozie and guitarist Nikki Belfiglio.

BODEGA will preview the album at upcoming NYC hometown performances on  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 - a sold out 100 Club promises to be a special one - and Paris performances. The band have also announced further November dates for London, Leeds and Bristol [all dates below].
