Album Notes
Lo-fi noise punks Time New Viking debuted on Matador Records in early 2008 with their third album, RIP IT OFF. While the band made no attempt to clean up their sound, remaining wonderfully hiss-filled and static-laden, they continued to sharpen their songwriting, with Beth Murphy's keyboards and vocals taking on an increased role. First single "My Head," "Drop Out," and even album opener "Teen Drama," stripped of the sonic gunk, are infectious pop tunes by any standard. Those stand-outs, among a host of other excellent songs, wonderfully display the band's minimalist style, primitive sonic approach, and anthemic lyrical content; and speak to the giddiness of youth, the power of art for art's sake, and the pure joy of music-making.

The Wire

3 stars out of 5 -- Times New Viking play guitars that clang like a metal bath and microphones which coat everything in abrasive fuzz...
