Didn't know Vivian Girls were talent scouts now? They've adopted this M/F 3 piece (seems only to be two of them in pictures?) who specialise in stripped back, atmospheric minimal rock that I find quite delightful. Clean, linear stuff that harks back to early Go Betweens, Delta 5, Au Pairs & 80's NZ girl group Look Blue Go Purple. The emphasis is on crispy fresh minor chord changes on an electric guitar, vague bass strokes and very basic drum rhythms with the female vocals taking the harmonic lead. They've got this pure, unfussy aura about them, the songs not weighed down with unnecessary trimmings. I just hear simplicity & charm. For a classic reference, fans of a lot of the early K records gear may fall in love with this EP & singles collection!New on the Vivian Girls' own Wild World imprint; dont have tons of info as VG are on tour forever, but we're going to get LP and CD in a couple of weeks. YELLOW FEVER play minimal art pop a la Young Marble Giants, Stereolab, and 1980s Rough Trade. Formed in the summer of 2006, they have released two EPs as well as a 7-inch on Hugpatch records. The album released on THE VIVIAN GIRLS' Wild World imprint compiles both of the EPs and the 7-inch onto one release.MOre info soon.... their myspace is: http://www.myspace.com/yellerfever have a toot.
