After dissecting a world ruled by terminally-online conspiracy theorists on 2022ΓÇÖs Cave World, the group's fourth album (viagr aboys, due April 25th via their own Shrimptech Enterprises) paces through the crude grimy places where they themselves fit in the nonsense. On lead single and album opener "Man Made of Meat", Murphy taunts your mom's OnlyFans and hopes to score some free women's sweaters from LL Bean. And as the album evolves, Viagra Boys work through churning post-punk, post-apocalyptic dub, and skronking rock while denouncing "smoking crypto" and detailing a journey "stealing Poseidon's trident from the Navy SEALs." Through it all, the band looks out at the endless expanse of Walmarts and crystal healers, searching for some twisted solace: the important part of being alive in the big, stupid world is figuring out the world inside of you that is equally big and stupid.
