The new album from Vivian Girls is pretty great stuff. Like their debut, it takes a while to sink in but once it does you finally realise the purpose of the repeat button. I argue with my friends a lot about what makes music good- is it lyrics? Technique? Emotion? Or is it just a spur of the moment, "I like this," sort of thing?
I think Vivian Girls present a strong case for music that's not the most original sound in the world, and maybe not technically astounding, but somehow manages to just win you over and sounds right.
I think I might have had too much coffee and am bordering into the wanky territory (actually this is a topic I would like to cover further more in the future) of What Makes Music Good so I will just end it with a hearty recommendation: Vivian Girls' "Everything Goes Wrong." Top stuff. Can't wait to see them in October.
