Times New Viking are not a font, but a rather audaciously talented trio from Columbus, Ohio. Known for shrouding their three-cornered pop constructions in clouds of tape hiss and buzzing noise, they have taken inspirations from sources as diverse as British art-school DIY of the late 1970s, Guided By Voices, Pavement and the Beatles.
On Born Again Revisited they told us they'd improved the recording quality by 25%, and they have achieved exactly that. Whereas the master for the last album was a cassette, this time it was a VHS. Far more layered and varied, Born Again Revisited is a slow build, from the rousing 'No Time, No Hope' to the anthemic, Yo La Tengo-influenced 'Move to California.' Through it all their raucous sense of joy shines through unencumbered.
