專輯名稱：Vivian Girls
Brooklyn band, the Vivian Girls' first record runs Shangri-Las-style pop through a post-punk wringer. Note, for instance, the Public Image Limited intro to 'Such a Joke' or the Pixies reference in 'No' (entire lyric: 'No'). Throughout, superfuzz guitar, subterranean bass, and Moe Tucker beats buoy heavenly harmonies and guest Tim Fiore's unstoppable tambourine. Once the pounding 'Tell the World' and spooky-jangly 'Where Do You Run To' take up residence in your head, they won't leave anytime soon. You've been warned. Taking their name from the blonde warriors created by the outsider author Henry Darger, the Vivian Girls mix the soft with the hard, the sweet with the sour: it’s the aural equivalent of candy, or Psychocandy. If they aren't the only outfit to perfect this tricky concoction--see the Shop Assistants or the Aislers Set--the Vivian Girls have, in a matter of months, become standard bearers. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
