S1/EP18: Ben Hozie - Music Hall of Williamsburg

A deep dive behind the music and philosophy of the NYC art rock band BODEGA. BODEGA BEN breaks down each track from their new album 'Our Brand Could be Yr Life', exploring the theme of the record: the current state of underground rock music. Together with guests and friends including Bodega Bay members and current collaborators, they dissect the story behind the music.

For the 18th episode, Ben dissects the song ‘Music Hall of Williamsburg’’ and the long bewildered journey it took as an adaptation of the Bodega Bay song ‘ATM II’. He also discusses Brechtian rap rock, Dinosaur Jr.’s use of flanger, the absurdity of wanting a band to be your life, and his own rock existential crisis that inspired the lyrics about a cultural consumer questioning everything while waiting at a venue’s ATM.
