Ohio trio play grime-caked pop music on corroded tape decks
-
We Say...
Six songs through the new Times New Viking album comes "No Time, No Hope," a beer-raising headnodder of the "Cut Your Hair" cloth, bashed out with an impeccable organ figure augmenting a summer festival-ready melody. All that's keeping it from taking over the airwaves is the tiny fact that it's covered in shit. Most of this Ohio trio's music is; they're too sly to play pop straight — they'd rather have fun with their corroded tape decks instead. On Born Again Revisited they promise "25% higher fidelity" than 2007's Talkboy-melting Rip It Off, and belie one typically deformed cut with the Mudhoney-esque title "I Smell Bubblegum." But the scattershot sequencing makes it hard to know when to listen up, even though their blown-amp aesthetic is less of a barrier than ever for the great tunes.
Not that the rockabilly chug "(No) Sympathy" or the cymbal-bled "Hustler, Psycho, Son" would ever have a chance at MTV2 even if they were produced like adults. Some would charge that, with another 25% fuzz dropoff, they'd be half the band they were when they began. But the clarity and harmony that seeps through the cracks, especially in TNV's naked live show, gives one the impression that they'd be so much more — unlike a lot of their scruffy compatriots who really do need the noise to cloak their meager songwriting. I look forward to two records and another 50% from now, when Times New Viking are born again revisited revisited. Imagine the possibilities.
