Times New Viking - DROP OUT
This song is simultaneously the best and worst thing about Times New Viking. It's one of the finest handfuls of song ever written with 3 chords, but it only lasts one minute. The lyrics are barely discernable, but ring utterly true. The whole thing is layered in a mass of scratchy fuzz, which sounds more than anything like that idea of Flann O'Brien's that night was just the accumulation of black air. This song is too great to be as throwaway as it is, but I know I still wouldn't change it.

Excellent. I'll be interested to see how they do when they play here live soon. That scuzzy aesthetic can't be replicated easily onstage without really shitty equipment and a very understanding venue/sound engineer.The album is indeed fantastic.
