The Trio who hail from Ohio are another fine addition to the seemingly endless amount of bands who are revolting against the use of computers in their production, opting for that ever popular DIY approach which has proved a success for so many bands of late and will surely do the same for Times New Viking.
Born Again Revisited, their fourth album in which the master copy was delivered on VHS, is promised to be "25% higher fidelity," a percentage found by Matador's engineering staff after laboratory tests, on the first few attempts it is hard work to work your way through the rough and ready hiss of the vocals and crackling of the symbols but given a bit of time and you do find some great tracks, such as the catchy 'No Time, No Hope' and the Lo-Fi indie ramblings of '2/11 Don't Forget' which clocks in at 3 minutes 47 making it the longest track on the album.
Times New Viking are certainly an interesting band and definitely one you should check out.
Here are a is a taster of the album courtesy of their record label Matador.
