The garage punk trio Vivian Girls could well be in the right place at the right time with their second album 'Everything Goes Wrong.'
The Brooklyn based all girl group have created an album that people over here are really taking a shine to, each song is a fun, fast paced, scuzzy hark back to 60's girl bands and surf pop with a charming, DIY ethic that is seeing a much needed revival of late.
There seems to be a rift as to whether they are actually creating interesting, sign of the times music or are just a bunch of incompetent posers,
well you only need to look at where they get their name from to pretty much sum up that debate, coming from artist Henry Darger's magnum opus, In the Realms of the Unreal. Darger's Vivian girls are said to be some of the most slippery, troublesome figures in contemporary art.
With extensive tours of the US and Europe, already gaining some great national press, 'Everything Goes Wrong,' a much darker approach than their 22 minute debut looks set to raise a few eyebrows as the word spreads.
Everything Goes Wrong is out today.
