Prediletissimos, vide a ode em forma de review feita ha algum tempo aqui no TBTCI, depois disso o Times New Viking virou objeto de desejo deste que vos escreve, os quatro albuns são absolutamente essenciais se você é fascinado por barulheira da melhor qualidade, lotados de distorção, vocalização completamente desleixada e muito muito lo-fi, musica para ouvir alta, alta para cacete, sem dó dos timpanos ou dos seus vizinhos, como sou adepto disso tudo, fazia um tempinho que eu flertava com o TNV até que, enfim Adam Elliot, vocais e bateria concedeu a tão sonhada entrevista para o TBTCI e o resultado é puro lo-fi escrito, não entendeu, porra então leia a parada, e se algum produtor mais esperto ler, vai se ligar que os caras adorariam vir para cá, e não é nada nada dificil isso hein.
Ah sim, dedico a entrevista aos parceiros da Pug Records, Last Splash e Transfusão Noise Records, grande abraço a todos.
***** Interview with Times New Viking *****
Q. When the band starts?
a: - the band started while we were attending columbus college of art and design. we figured out pop songs were a lot like the collages we were making at the time.
Q: What are the band´s influences?
a:-kiwi pop, the fall, dadaism, fluxist happenings, electric eels, the shaggs
Q: Tell us about the TNV´s gigs...how was it?
a: - tnv shows are pretty much standard ohio rock and roll. lots of songs, energy, high volume and no pretension. we do about 20 songs in 45 minutes and can finish a bottle of whiskey as fast as the silver bullet band.
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the albuns?What´s the difference between the Dig Yourself to the last Born Again Revisited
a: on dig yourself we were very nubile, now we have gotten a little better at our instruments but have the same attitude and approach.
Q. Define TNV sounds....
a:romantic nihilism. simple music made by complicated people.
Q. There´s a bit conflict between Sub Pop and Matador, what´s your rellation with this?Matador or Sub Pop??
a:we know nothing about the conflict. we are ohio kids, stuck in the middle of the states. we obviously have put out records on matador and not sub pop but nothing against that label.
Q: Which bands you love to made a cover version?
a: fleetwood mac. we are all obsessed.
Q: Which new bands you recommended?
a: eat skull, psychedelic horseshit, circle pit, blues control, wooden shjips. america is getting nice and weird again!
Q: What´s the plans for future....new records, a tour, maybe one day playing in Brazil....
a: finishing a new record, touring with pavement and guided by voices in the fall. would love to play brazil! you know someone? my sister in law is from there, so i would love to play. heard cat power was just down there? talk to our agent!
Q: Any parting words?
a: start a band and stay off facebook!
