The ones who loved The Wipers as much as Burt Bacharach as much as The Shangri-Las. They were the band that made the punks feel like they could sing harmonies and pop fans could get in touch with their anger. Cassie Ramone’s lyrics alternated between love, loss and rage. They were heart-on-their-sleeves romantics in one breath and a spiraling explosion of feedback in the next. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter their third album - 2011’s \u003ci\u003eShare the Joy\u003c\/i\u003e - the members of Vivian Girls parted ways and the band who had known each other since they were teenagers, went about the business of living.

Fittingly, the sonic textures of the album match this sense of desperation and longing. It’s a loud, snarling journey and there’s a sense of streamlined direction and intensity to the performances: it sounds like a band returning to a core idea of itself. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polyvinyl","offers":[{"title":"Purple | LP","offer_id":50925734560075,"sku":"1068600","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue | LP","offer_id":50925735805259,"sku":"1068599","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0b89ace3-8201-4008-904e-b3eb59a047d5_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1733271132"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_1847b54f_thumbnail_4096_2bde9769-c327-4b16-8455-4c8da048bb8f.jpg?v=1727139234","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/vivian-girls.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
