Stockholm post-punk group Viagra Boys will unveil their new album Welfare Jazz early next year.

Revealed today, the 13-track album will be released on January 8th via YEAR0001. The music video for album’s first single “Ain’t Nice” can be seen below. The visual was directed by Snask. For vocalist Sebastian Murphy, this record was inspired by a past relationship. In a statement, Murphy said:

“We wrote these songs at a time when I had been in a long-term relationship, taking drugs every day, and being an asshole. I didn't really realize what an asshole I was until it was too late, and a lot of the record has to do with coming to terms with the fact that I'd set the wrong goals for myself.”

The album was co-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). This is the follow up to their 2018 debut album Street Worms.
