Times New Viking

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Much like Guided by Voices, Times New Viking is a noisy, lo-fi indie rock band from Ohio who made the leap from the long-running indie Siltbreeze Records to the higher-profile Matador label. Unlike Guided by Voices, whose hissy, distortion-heavy sound masked a knack for traditional '60s-influenced pop hooks and surreal lyrical wordplay, this Columbus-based trio favors a more punk-derived sound and minimalist, deliberately repetitive lyrics.

Hot on the heels of two rabidly devoured releases on Siltbreeze, the Matador debut from this Columbus, OH band is the classic we were hoping for. These two guys and a girl make super lo-fi thrashy arty stuff with melodies buried under screeds of noise. There's a touch of early Pavement but with Midwest energy. "A bunch of ex-art school kids just out of their teens who play lo-fi, ADD-addled guitar rock hearkening back to fellow Buckeye greats Guided By Voices" - LA Weekly.[ read more ]

The Paisley Reich ably avoids D.S.A. syndrome (an acronym coined by The Shadow Ring meaning "difficult second album").Having developed even more vim and vigor, TNV's blur of high-concept pop, crud, and crunch is staggering. Scribes who languor within the compnoscenti of glossy print continue to peep about parallels to Guided By Voices and Pavement; those of us paying our own way recall the glorious lo-fi shimmer of nascent Flying Nun via The Clean, Great Unwashed, and Max Block.

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 albu   [ read more ]
