Times New Viking - Rip It Off


What a delicious fuzzball of fun! I was caught pleasantly off-guard by Times New Viking's 3rd release Rip It Off! Switching to Matador from a smaller label can sometimes be great, and sometimes a big, giant flopping albatross. This time, it's phenomenal. Bigger, badder, louder, noisier, key-boardier, the songs can't help but make you smile. This is one of the most enthusiastic recordings I have heard in a good while. You can hear the good times in every note.
