Earlier last month we got the first listen to the teeth-rattling first single, “No Time No Hope”, from the forthcoming Times New Viking album, Born Again Revisited. Now that release day is fast approaching (September 22, Matador Records), the band and label have seen fit to drop a second sneak peak - the equally scuzzed-out power-punk of “Move To California”. I don’t know what this means
Along with this kickin’ new tune from Times New Viking came a very tongue-in-cheek press release - “Times New Viking delivered the master recordings to their forthcoming LP/CD/digital album ‘Born Again Revisited’ (OLE 860) on a Video Home System cassette. Addressing the mountain of constructive criticism they’ve received from self-styled musicologists wanna-be producers and persons with
From Columbus, Ohio ("where people drink beer and smoke cigarettes"), Times New Viking continue the war against fidelity on their fourth album.Guided By Voices, like Times New Viking, are from Ohio. This seems appropriate. They are both known in large part for being exemplars of a militantly lo-fi aesthetic, disregarding slick production values in favour of the sound of pops, hiss, and clicks. ...
Much like their name, the music of Times New Viking initially warrants a ‘what the fuck’ reaction. But once you realise the joke (I’ll give you a clue – it’s a font) you can sit there with a wry self-satisfied smile and just enjoy the music.First off, those of you who like their music with [...]

Dear Times New Viking,Your album is depressingly shit. I am actually angry at the people who told me I should listen to it, sad for not trusting in Record Store Girl when she said it was awful, and hoping that there's at least a bit of redemption to be found in your first two albums.I'm normally a bit less blunt about music I don't like, but the thing that pisses me off isn't that the music is ...
