Stockholm firestarters Viagra Boys are as obsessed with shrimps as ever, but have adopted a new style of punk-inspired racket on their new single 'Ain't No Thief'. It announces the band's third album, titled Cave World.

On 'Ain't No Thief', Viagra Boys—consisting of a troupe of jazz-trained musicians and inimitable frontman Sebastian Murphy—exhalt in post-truth. "I ain't no thief, we just have the same stuff" Murphy sings over a ravey, industrial, krautrock churn. 

This is quite a lot more agressive in its electronics than we have had from the band on either their 2018 debut Street Worms or last year's Welfare Jazz
