Indie outfit Dad Bod has shared a new version of their song "4/9."

As fans might recall, the Minneapolis-based four-piece initially included the original version of the track, a more acoustic effort, on their Precursor EP, which they released last summer. Part of the reason for the stripped down rendition was due the pandemic, which prevented the full band from recording the project how they originally imagined, before Covid.

"In the spring of last year we had plans to record a full-band EP," recalls singer Callie Marino. "Once the pandemic hit it was clear that wasn’t going to be an option, so Wilson and I recorded Precursor, a largely stripped down EP. ‘4/9’ was the opening track on that record and was pieced together through voice memos I recorded on my iPhone and instrumentation Wilson recorded at home. Tracks were sent back and forth and ideas shared as the song began to come together."

She continues: "The rest of the band wanted to expand on the song; once we started practicing again, a new version came together. That is the version we are releasing now. We’re very proud of the place this track has come to."
