Times New Viking - Rip It Off


Times New Viking - Rip it Off

Though the first few spins of Times New Viking's latest release, Rip it Off, prove to be laborous and ill-fated, there's a hidden indie gem beneath the crackling, lo-fi gimmick. Times New Viking might step just shy of the eponymous Bee Thousand and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain in which their shape is molded from, but Rip it Off is delectable and ecstatic, filled to the top with abrasive pop hooks, melodic songwriting, and a thick wall of fuzzy exuberance. Times New Viking set these phasers to stun.

Can i interest you in an album by a band called Apes and Androids. I think its something you could really like. I'd like to see it reviewed on sputnik. www.myspace.com/apesandandroids. Really need to listen to more then one song to get the idea about them. If your interested i can link you to their album. This is just out of interest and I'd like to see someone else's opinion on it.
