Why'd they dump the cute drummer, a major part of their appeal was that they were all beautiful.

The way they kind of slowly reveal the chorus on Where Do You Run To is really really great.

pro-tip giving them a good review wont get u any tittyno, but hating things for the sake of looking cool will? talk about loving yourself, geez. surely going around looking for things to dislike is more female-repelling than trying to find things you do like. grow up, buddy, we're not 17 anymore.
― Kevin Keller, Wednesday, 15 October 2008 21:32 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm still enjoying their cover of the Wipers' "Telepathic Love" more than any of their own songs. Sort of how I used to feel about Yo La Tengo and "Somebody's Baby." They need a hit single.
― Michael Train, Wednesday, 15 October 2008 22:05 (fifteen years ago) link
They need to stop using the same lame reverb effect on every fucking song live and stop emulating reductively simple bands.
― Kramkoob (Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃), Wednesday, 15 October 2008 22:11 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm kinda with n/a on this band. But one thing I will say, looking back to times when I consumed lots of C-86y indie racket along these lines, is that sometimes acts like this can seem better the more of them they are, for some reason. (Small-differences comparison helps clarify what's unique about any given one, maybe?) And when listening to Vivian Girls next to something like Cause Co-Motion, I wind up liking them both better. VG have dead-girl harmonies that really suit them, sometimes.

So far, at least, Cause Co have many more good songs, though they've been doled out parsimoniously, single by single. Maybe the new 7" comp cd will remind people of their charm? People at Cause Co shows are made to twitch and jerk; people at Viv Girls shows seem a little more caught up in their own appreciation of the new it band--perhaps they're too cool to spazz out?

ts: being a faggoty loser writer vs. projecting onto one.
This band isn't even really that good, but whatever, they're fine.

i met some dude in the portaloo queue at an outside gig the other day in a vivian girls t-shirt. my initial assumption was that it was for the long-gone and obscure aussie band of the same name (it wasn't). dude nearly wet himself with excitement when i explained the aislers set to him

they're pretty young. I did sound for them once - they were nice - but so much of their appeal (besides being young and cute) is the reverb on the vocals.
― what happened? I'm confused. (sarahel), Wednesday, 4 March 2009 04:13 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh, they're good. Where Do You Run To has an epic build-up in the chorus. Admittedly, the vocal reverb helps.

The whole album sounds nice and dense. Possibly similar to Everything Goes Wrong in that it may take a few listens to absorb the finer details.
