Vivian Girls are the coolest bunch of girls i've seen on a record sleeve for a long time. They're posing in front of a stuffed bear n a record shop with bottles of beer. That gives me the horn, sorry! For the record 'tell the World' is scratchy, catchy lo-fi indie rock with echo laden Shangri-las vocals, like a primal undisciplined Sleater Kinney crossed with the B-52's doing '52 Girls' in a dustbin full of sawdust & bits of old wire. It's like a new genre I just made up Hauntindielogical! The flip tunes sound disembodied, and possessed like a shambling version of Thee Headcoatees if they were on K records and listened to Heavenly. They've got that utterly beautiful old trashed sound downpat and this yellow vinyl is essential for any collectors of uber cool underground US indie punk. Go girls!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
