Issued domestically by Tokyo record imprint Yacca at the beginning of September, "Everything Goes Wrong" is the sophomore effort from Vivian Girls.
While the Brooklyn ladies are free to name their albums whatever they bloody well like, the title "Everything Goes Right" would provide a more accurate portrayal of their history up to this point.
Formed in spring of 2007, the trio quickly built a name for themselves in New York's vibrant underground scene. Originally put out on vinyl only, the first pressing of their 2008 eponymous debut sold out in less than two weeks giving Vivian Girls "buzz band" status. Rereleased on both CD and LP a few months later, the act's lo-fi noise-pop, which mixes elements of 1960s doo-wop, shoegaze and punk, was championed by college radio and music scribes. Soon publications such as hipster bible Pitchfork were labeling their album as one of the year's best.
