Jun 3, 2011The trio's strongest asset has always been inspired, thoughtfully crafted pop songs, which Share the Joy should finally make clear.
-
Apr 11, 2011Not many bands can recover from a disastrous album and come back better than ever. Thanks to some hard work and good choices, you can add Vivian Girls to that short list.
-
May 12, 2011What's key is they remain as disaffected as brother band Crystal Stilts, and cling to longing, woozy Slumberland vibes without fear of brighter tones, trendy surf and obvious, intelligible lyrics (little more than an amusing addition).
-
Apr 26, 2011The overall result is pleasant yet hardly exceptional.
-
Apr 20, 2011Share the Joy is an obvious reaction to the once-underground movement that is now bloated with wannabe's and imposers.
-
Apr 8, 2011Share The Joy sees our own Vivians enter into a similar contretemps: locking horns with death and with demons (literally, on "Trying To Pretend"), they achieve a narrative victory that nonetheless remains, for the auditor, a work in progress.
-
Apr 12, 2011Like a broken record, Vivian Girls appear doomed to repeat themselves.
