Music: Rock/Pop Times New Viking w/ Hank IV, Psychedelic Horseshit and Fabulous Diamonds

  • Tnv_large

Being a lo-fi, art-punk band from Ohio with a deal on Matador, Times New Viking can't help but draw comparisons to Guided by Voices. It's an appropriate starting point, but their joyous racket feels more spiritually akin to late-'70s Messthetics bands like the Swell Maps than the early-'90s slacker model. Times New Viking make DIY that sounds truly done for themselves, full of poppy hooks and boy/girl harmonies; their indelible "TeenageLUST" sprouts bouncy melodies from a trebly compost of overdriven organs and mountains of fuzz.
