VIVIAN GIRLS

Sonic Youth + The Luv'd Ones + The Shop Assistants + like, early Ride or Lush or whatever + uh...The Shangri Las... =Vivian Girls
How hip are these girls? C86 indie...shoegaze...90s US slacker rock...girl groups...they tick a lot of boxes, right? I'm rarely cool enough to have heard about any genuinely hip new band, let alone one that I actually like, so was very excited to have stumbled across this lot. After some cursory Googling, I've learnt they're from NYC, and have a sort of surly NYC attitude. The whole package, then.

They really do have everything: Mamas and Papas harmonies, a pop-tastic lyric "I'll tell the world about the love that I've found" and a video that looks like RiD and Bat for Lashes got drunk together before finding a blue screen and some tambourines.

Good stuff.
