There's something noble about sticking to your guns and riding out the backlash, something impressive about ignoring the hype and nonsense and making the album you want to make, damn the critics and blast the consequences. The Vivian Girls found themselves in a whirl of hype, plaudits, and indie rock-sized success after the release of their self-titled debut album in 2008. They quickly found themselves at the forefront of a lo-fi noise pop scene that took off very fast and crashed just as quickly as people moved on to the next thing. To their credit, the Girls didn't move on and Everything Goes Wrong sounds very much like the first album: short, sharp, and punky songs influenced by C-86, shoegaze, girl groups, and classic punk rock played with a ramshackle abandon and with no real musical chops. The Vivian Girls have not wavered from their chosen sound one bit, and for that you have to respect them. If you liked the trio's first album, there will be plenty here for you to like as well.
Well, it's got an excitable rumbling beat, over reverbed vocals, bass lines that fill the tiny gap afforded to them, grainy guitar, and grimy surf-lullabye vocal melodies: it's the Vivian Girls. It's probably a bad time for me to be trying (and I mean trying) to listen to the new Vivian Girls album.

Adding emotional depth (and audibility!) to their lyrics, Vivian Girls are out to prove they’re more than your average post-punk, 60s-girl-group, surf/shoegaze throwback.For starters, their new album Everything Goes Wrong is longer and ‘heavier’ –with more solemn, introspective lyrics compared to their self-titled debut. (Opening tracks like “Walking Alone at Night” and “I Have No [.
