Swirling noise Brooklynites, Vivian Girls have confirmed the release of their sophomore album via the ever wonderful In The Red label on September 14th 2009.
Released almost exactly a year after In The Red’s reissue of their self titled debut, the new album, ‘Everything Goes Wrong’ promises to be slightly longer than the 22 mins their debut clocked up with the band having taken their time and recorded it in six days - rather than the three their debut took though many of the songs were still recorded in single takes.
Whilst the band have again captured their raw, fun edge – as tthe influence of ‘60s girl bands, The Ramones as well as surf and indie pop, still ring true, Everything Goes Wrong is without a doubt a darker, moodier album than its predecessor; a trait which arguably makes the band an even more appealing proposition this time round.
Over the last year, the Vivian Girls have toured the US and Europe extensively, received a considerable amount of national and international press, sparked fierce debate as to whether they are a refreshing blast of unselfconscious punk rock energy or a crew of contemptible, incompetent posers and, perhaps most significant of all, become the subject of a question on the Jeopardy US game show.
