The Vivian Girls debut self titled album is in Rough Trades top 10 of the year, don't miss the chance to see them perform live.
The Vivian Girls drop sweet girl-group melodies into proto-shoegaze squalls the way the Jesus & Mary Chain used to and the way groups like the Aislers Set, C86s-ers the Shop Assistants, and the Manhattan Love Suicides have done with female vocalists. They keep the Shangri-Las' melodrama to boot. With echoes of Vaselines in their sound, too, Vivian Girls may just have released the best album of its type in 2008 - this eponymous debut drips with a confidence beyond the band's years, and fits no particular fashion of today.
