Loading ...Vivian Girls‘ 22-minute self titled debut is hot cake right now (or was a month or so ago you know I can’t keep up with the kids) and not because Pitchfork told us so. Ok, I gotta admit that I first read about them via pitchfork, yet unlike most of the stuff I read and never check I jumped on Vivian Girls because I love this microgenre. This noisy New York all-girl trio mixes 60s bubblegum pop with the punk aesthetic, writing short & catchy three chord tunes. I loved 90s power pop from Dirt Bike Annie, The Kung Fu Monkeys et al, but with 100% more fuzz this is even better. If you like the No Age aesthetic and are even remotely interested in bubblegum music, power pop, summer camps & boy scouts or surfing (none of which I have a real life connection) you’ll be playing this over and over. Similar artist : Wavves.
PS: Just watched some video interviews and realized that they magically turn into annoying teenagers when not performing.
