Viagra Boys - The Cognitive Trade-Off Hypothesis (Shrimp Sessions 3) 

I am a depressed anthropologist and this sounds exactly like my internal monologue. This is the catharsis I've been seeking

I feel better about going through my life knowing this band is out there

This is the best thing my depressed, anxious and almost-burned-out mind has heard for years. It is incredibly soothing for me. Thank you so much viagra boys.

Favorite track off the new album, but barely, cuz it's all bangers start to end. One of those rare albums to put on and don't skip a single track.

6 months of a biology class condensed into an amazing piece of art.

Really hope the welder will be playing live on the upcoming United States tour.

Would you please be so kind to introduce your new member on the angle grinder? Sincerely, a Shrimptech Industries shareholder

Words cant express how good this song is

I think i subconsciously willed this band to be created. I have needed this music my entire life and ive been stumbling around looking for it since I was a kid Hard driving bass riffs, horns, syths, amazing drum work. Hilariously tragic lyrics. "I had a small dog, such a small dog but i felt it was a large dog" Beautiful

Early morning shrimp sessions and coffee. It's absolutely amazing

How fuckin brilliant can a band be ? Viagra boys : YES !

This song is perfect. The sax in this live version sounds so good.

Oskar is one talented fucker. The ability to mimic welder, dog barks & voices through the sax is not lost one me. SHRIMPTECH through and through baby

I’ve never heard these guys up until about 20 minutes ago and I can already tell I’m going to binge there’re catalog all day

Insane bass tone

Took me a minute but there's a surprising bang of Say it right by Nelly Furtado off this

I love how Sebastian talks about anything with humor and how the band fusions any genre into their songs. I think those albums will last like Beck's Mellow Gold or Pixies Doolittle, but more fun.

That bass is killer! What a great song!

This is so good and full of emotions actually it makes me cry ♥️♥️♥️ This apathic world is killing us

How cool it would had been to have them on my 20s, the 90s would had been even better with this guys

Did you know That years ago All we had Was sticks and stones To make our food And build our homes We collected birds And we lived in holes And most of us lived in the trees We counted things at incredible speeds We lived a life of simplicity And eatin’ on bugs and little berries We climbed down from the trees And we learned to speak We lost all of the hair from our bodies Our ancestors were very weak The other chimps kicked 'em out of the trees And they were forced to learn how to speak In exchange for other important things But once on the ground we were exposed To lions and tigers and predators So we learned to speak to share our strategies On how to survive as naked monkeys We climbed down from the trees And we learned to speak We lost our detailed short-term memories But what's all of this got to do with me? Is there some sort of connection to my ADD Climbed down from the trees And we learned to speak We lost our detailed short-term memories But what's all of this got to do with me? Is there some sort of connection to my ADD We climbed down from the trees And learned to speak We lost all of our cognitive abilities We climbed down from the trees And learned to speak And we lost all of the hair from our bodies

The guy welding at 3:05 is pure gold

Absolutely love this song, you guys are crushing it.

The best live band currently touring

The welder absolutely killed it on this track.

I randomly found these guys on RU-vid a few months ago and now listen to them daily and they keep cranking out bangers!

My ADD brought me here! I love the Viagra Boys!!

Thanks Joshua Homme for the tip.

Every morning should begin with new Viagra Boys.

my fav song off the record. there's something wondrous about it

Just wow. For some reason this has brought up a load of emotion in me. What a song xx

DAMN, Sebastian just keeps getting more and more real. Oscar blows my mind.

Another excellent Shrimp Sesh! THE best band out there for sure, LOVE VB!

I saw this last night at the Troxy, London and it gave me chills. It was so beautiful.

"We counted things at incredible speeds" the best and most overlooked line in evolution?

Side note the actual Cognative Tradeoff hypothesis is fascinating.

That saxophone noise gives me chills, they used a similar sound in the What We Do In The Shadows movie.

Fucking masterpiece... these guys really are low key musical Geniuses

The hit rate for this band with me is stratospheric. One after another.

Brilliant! Huge love from the UK Boys!

great song to wake up to!

These guys keep releasing killer fukn music...its fukn so amazing to see artists with a fresh sound..

As expected, excellent insight on evolutionary biology. Also a fantastic song.

I discovered these guys a week after I was diagnosed with 'ADD' as a 37 old man and it is totally sound tracking my entire existence. Best band in a loooooong time. Fuck Yep!

Ian Curtis and the Sleaford Mods meet swedish musical humor.

fav song of the album

simply brilliant how the guy in the background with the angle grinder plays along to the music.

We crawled down from the trees and learned to speak!!! We lost all the hair on our bodies!!! Probably the best hook ever. Not just for the VeeBeez but period.

Missed them when I moved here by a few days. Not gonna miss them again, these live performances are better than the studio recordings IMO.

This as a sound track to the actual experiments is amazing

Simply flawless band. They should just record their albums live. Sounds so much better!

Waking up to some fresh viagra boys, today's gunna be a good day! We still want the live shrimp sessions on cd or for download......

As a fellow neurodivergent, I love this song.

grinder and a welder as a musical instrument... thats is the greatest ever

The gift of Viagra Boys to the world.. wowza! Newly introduced thanks to spotify rolling on to new suggestions 🤟 I'm a qotsa, Mark Lanegan fan and have to say these dudes are just 😎!!! Heavy, psychedelic, punk af and so very insightful & fun! Man I'm hooked!

From Australia with♡♡ When you fellas visiting us ,your music is so refreshing🔘 crank it up 🦗

The most beautiful bass tone imaginable. This fucking rules.

We probably FIRST lost the hair on our bodies and because of prejudice we were kicked out of the trees. Absolutely perfect!

This is a whole vibe

Fuck. You guys have become a quick favorite in this last two years. Your music is fantastic.

Love this ... The driving rythim and sparse guitar and sax ... lyrics and Sebatian Murphy... cool song

One of those rare bands that are actually good live better then the audio

I'd really love to know the inputs/mics on each instrument. This recording is amazing.

Just now hearing this & finding out who these guys are, this song is a 1 shot knock out punch AMAZING hands down AMAZING

Wow this version is amazing

This is the most revolutionary album ever recorded.

Muchas gracias!!!

always so good contrasting the album version to shrimp session, I really like the kind of warble seb has going in this one

Another one to put on my list of songs that brought me to tears...somehow

Truly the evolution of man.

been hitting this once a day for at least a month. just soothes.

This band is an ultimate live experience.

Best live act on the globe.

and the bar has been raised!

The live versions are always even better 💯👏🏻

Necessary music. Beautiful

in the music video of my dreams for this song it's a kid in junior high reading a report about evolution.

WE LOVE YOU SEBASTIAN!!!!!!!🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

I dig the new track! I like these styles of VB songs (reminds me of Return to Monke and Troglodyte 🕶️🤙🏻) I love the topics he writes about too lol

This song is absolutely beautiful

I can’t believe I just found you guys about a month ago. I can’t get enough..I’m pissed at myself but so what I need right now

Случайно узнал об этой группе. Теперь переслушиваю эту песню раз за разом!

proud of our little skrimps
