The second album from Brooklyn trio Vivian Girls is dark, moody, and just as indebted to Nirvana and the Wipers as ’60s girl groups.
The threesome revels in its dark side on its punk-influenced sophomore release, Everything Goes Wrong. The signature harmonies that touched the Girls’ buzz-generating, self-titled 2008 debut are still present, but here, they answer that buzz with some dissonant noise of their own, as evidenced on tracks like the shoegaze-drenched “When I’m Gone.”
Go shopping with Vivian Girls, download “When I’m Gone,” visit their official site, check out their MySpace, track them on Twitter, and buy the album..

Sorry but their crappy, unoriginal lo-fi music isn't making anyone forget that terrible bathtub interview they did. They're so lucky to be privileged and not a 'normal' person.
bitter. bitter. they're cool and that's that.
They're awful. This has been done so many times it's not even funny. They can barely play and she can barely sing.
i like indie, and i like lo-fi, but these gals are pretty untalented and unoriginal, even for a genre that's intentionally outsider-y. Just because they know people at pitchfork and somehow got some undeserved attention doesn't mean YOU have to endorse them . long live QUALITY lo-fi!
I sorta like the guitar, but I can't even hear the singer. It all becomes noise when combined together. Not for me.
I'm surprised you showcase them, but maybe, hopefully, they're better when your there live?
lol this is awesomely…bad.
I thought it was common knowledge that these gals are horrible snobs that play terrible music, can't believe yet another site feels the need to hype this garbage.
Good lord, they suck….. And not even in a fun way
Possibly the most depressing interview of all time

Like, ironic how they were like, sitting in a bathtub, because they like, look like they like, haven't like showered in like four days. Like.
Gah!!!
Ouch. Youngsters speaking I guess, but they come off as people who don't know their ass from their elbow. Their vague use of the term 'normal person' is stereotypical – like making racist comments about minorities, or pigeon holing kids as 'hipsters' because of the clothes they wear or musical affinities. That last distinction is something they should at least understand, as members of an up and coming young band. Ladies, it is not the leggings you wear that have me judging you, it is the words you spew. Don't hate normies – somebody has to be able to buy your music online.
Like, OMG. That interview left me more nauseated than their music. How naive and immature can you be? Are they really old enough to get into a bar? I suppose they could be fun and cute playing in the basement at their friend's party… but wait…they have a record deal? And people buy this? I'm confused.
Sweet shit, this is awful music. And after taking a gander at the bathtub interview, I find these girls personally abhorrent. Oh, Flavorwire. I read about such cool stuff on your interweb page. Why do you give time to this nonsense. It's one thing if you have a great artist who happens to be so broke that the quality of her recordings is that of a 4 track tape machine from the early 90's, but her songs transcend the recording gear. It's another thing when some unimaginative teenagers fart out something clearly meant to sound that way and churn out a slew of songs that sound like what a million artists have done before but better. This is boring. This is average. There is nothing of note here.
My 6 year old niece heard and saw the video and the first thing she said was "that is awful" and walk away….I have to agree kids always speak the truth.
Viv Girls stink but a homie band is always fun anyway.
