Lo-fi noise punks Time New Viking debuted on Matador Records in early 2008 with their third album, RIP IT OFF. While the band made no attempt to clean up their sound, remaining wonderfully hiss-filled and static-laden, they continued to sharpen their songwriting, with Beth Murphy's keyboards and vocals taking on an increased role. First single "My Head," "Drop Out," and even album opener "Teen Drama," stripped of the sonic gunk, are infectious pop tunes by any standard. Those stand-outs, among a host of other excellent songs, wonderfully display the band's minimalist style, primitive sonic approach, and anthemic lyrical content; and speak to the giddiness of youth, the power of art for art's sake, and the pure joy of music-making.Uncut (p.111) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Times New Viking play guitars that clang like a metal bath and microphones which coat everything in abrasive fuzz..."
The Wire (p.61) - "This trio from Columbus, Ohio, sizzle and spit with riveting, raw energy....The group sound defiant and unconcerned with how they're likely to be perceived, arbiters of their own cool, both gloriously cheap-sounding and fiercely self-possessed."
Blender (Magazine) (p.102) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "This rambunctious Columbus, Ohio, trio love the relatively recent golden age of Guided By Voices's and Pavement's artfully skuzzy early singles, searching for the candy center in music that is sweet beneath blasts of static."

New York indie rockers Les Savy Fav returned from a couple of years of self-imposed exile with their fourth full-length, LET'S STAY FRIENDS, which pretty much picks up right where they left off. Their invigorating, visceral-yet-cerebral brand of Wire-influenced art-punk-cum-modern-rock is still full of left-field lyrical sensibilities, hellbent rhythms, and knotty guitar ...

At 21 minutes long Vivian Girls' debut album is over almost before it begins; it flashes by in a cloud of sludgy distortion and hissy noise. The trio belongs to a proud heritage of noise pop that started (as do so many things) with the Velvet Underground, went through to the Shop Assistants and early My Bloody Valentine in the mid-'80s, and continued on to Black Tambourine and Tiger Trap in the late '90s. Along with current bands like Times New Viking, Vivian Girls take their cues from their predecessors and cover their melodies in fuzzy gunk. It's a winning formula, as the bands mentioned previously have proven. Vivian Girls don't add much to the formula here as they race through the ten songs at a breathless pace, submerging the ...

It's no secret that many record producers are in fact frustrated musicians whose technical expertise afforded them the opportunity to retreat into the studio after their careers went belly up; so whenever an established producer dares to step back out from behind the mixing desk, the odds of artistic failure are steep, to say the least. Unless said producer operates within a musical genre like heavy metal, in which success and public stardom don't necessarily go hand in hand, thereby lowering expectations just enough to allow the music to speak for itself. Long story short, we're talking about famed extreme metal producer Waldemar Sorychta here (The Gathering, Tiamat, Lacuna Coil, etc.), and his latest endeavor as a musician, Enemy of the Sun. Having already proven himself to be far more than a knob-twiddling nerd with lingering issues (via respectable prior band projects like original band Despair, goth-metallers Eyes of Eden and, best known of all, post-thrashers Grip Inc.), Sorychta now brings us a strange brand of progressive thrash, rife with both melody and even more extreme death metal elements. In fact, arguably not since the Galactic Cowboys, in the early '90s, has a band so liberally invested layered vocal harmonies into thrash metal as Enemy of the Sun do (though not with the same, Beatlesque perfection); consistently contrasting it against the aforementioned death metal growls, plus its attendant chunkier guitar tones and busier percussion. Needless to say, though, this ...
