Times New Viking - "We Got Rocket" Homemade Video

[disasterology777]

I understand some people don't enjoi what Times New Viking are about, and that is because TNV are to honest and raw for their opponents synapses to process the actual level of sheer brilliance in their music. If Puff Uncle or Snoop Cat didn't produce it then people don't 'like' it. Whatever. I dig their vibe and their music because they embody a surreal and beautiful hopelessness that is very familiar and human as opposed to all the random garbage that spews out of big wig record labels.

this makes me want to tear my eyes out and shove sharp, pointy pencils in my ears as deep as they will go

[kommievision]

if this band were given $100k to record an album, i would hope they spend it all on beer, pot and hookers, maybe a new mercedes convertible to eventually crash in the olentangy river, and of course a year's supply of doritos; but they need to spend it all so they can't afford a studio and have to stay in the basement with a fostex 4track cassette recorder and about 4 or 5 blank tapes. if not, they will wind up like the toll with a song like jonathan toledo. so smoke up.

@kommievision suck it sideways hipster

[egdeltur666]

well-produced? highly-polished? What the hell are you talking about? It certainly isn't this band, whatever it is.

[rhodkemp1]

and that's a very good thing

[ajdicks]

the lo-fi sound is not the problem, it's that they're rehashing 1980

[egdeltur666]

1980? I wouldn't ngo back that far but then I've heard them go further, so... honestly I kind of want more 90's hauntology, since I actually grew up in the 90's, so it strikes a little more of a chord with me.

didn't make me puke too much

[sweetjesus3841]

if this was recorded on 'better' equipment i would stop listening to TNV immediately, the reason they rule is because they use reel to reel OG recording equipment and it makes their shit sound fucking amazing.

[deathghostboo]

if this was recorded on "better" equipment it wouldnt sound as awsome

[GalactusNJ]

couldn't agree more

same goes for

No Age and

Japanther

shitty home recording quality makes me feel comforted in a weird way

[donotfeedthemax]

TNV seems to be a pretty awesome band, but they definately need better recording equipment to get anywhere. But they've got the potential to be smashing, they sound a lot like Los Campesinos.

[jacobjacobbruce]

i disagree los campesinos sound nothing like times new viking. los campesinos suck.

[BelleRetenue]

awesome band with awesome potential.

[meowzer999]
