Oh look, more Vivian Girls

Vivian Girls - Everything Goes Wrong

Less than a year after their 23-minute-long debut, the girls have released their followup. It's twice as long, twice as fun, and a lot sadder. They continue to pump out speedy, simple, 60s-girl-group-inspired melodies and lovelorn lyrics, in a wall of craftless shoegaze noise. Everything Goes Wrong picks up where their S/T ended, heartbroken, with occasional exceptions. It's hard to pick favorites on this one, because every song's terrific. But as usual, I asterisk my personal favorites.
