CMU Approved
Approved: Vivian Girls
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 28 July 2011
Firm favourites amongst Team CMU, Vivian Girls released their third album, ‘Share The Joy’, in April through Polyvinyl. Continuing a development that has run throughout their album releases, it saw them combining garage rock with 60s girl group-style songs. Their unusual blend of influences was shown off by frontwoman Cassie Ramone in one of our most favourite Powers Of Ten playlists to date, which spans everything from Cilla Black to Black Sabbath.
Following a free download of album track ‘I Heard You Say’ earlier this year, the band have now released a new video for ‘Take It As It Comes’. Their most Shangri-Las-esque song, it features lovelorn spoken word sections and advice-giving choruses, all of which is amplified visually in the brightly coloured video. It’s a perfectly carried off and endearing pastiche.
