Vivian Girls - Out for the Sun 
Everything Goes Wrong (In the Red)

The new Vivian Girls record is ballin’. If you liked their debut self-titled LP, then you’ll like this.  It’s more lo-fi garage stuff, but this time, they apparently wanted to take the time to perfect it, so they took six days to record it, instead of the three they used for the last record.  I think it worked, because, in my opinion, this one blows the last one out of the water.  Any other week of the year, this would definitely be the best release, but competing with the new Mission of Burma and Yo La Tengo records makes it a tough decision.  But it’s most definitely in the Top 3 of a stellar week.

Incidentally, I was looking at videos of them, and I noticed that the bassist is the hot one in the group.  What the fuck kind of bizarro-world is this band from?
