Despite mom’s efforts, Vivian Girls’ style hasn’t changed noticeably on the new material they’ve been playing on the current tour — songs slated for inclusion on an album they’ll begin recording in Los Angeles in January. Katy: “We’ll probably spend more time recording the next one because someone else will be paying for it. We’ll have more time in the studio so it’ll probably sound a little less amateurish, but a lot of people do like our amateurishness.”
“Don’t worry, it’ll be amateurish!” says Cassie.
“Yeah, we’re not gonna become a prog-rock band anytime soon,” Katy snorts. “We wanna sound like a big pile of mush forever.”

In 2008, Brooklyn's Vivian Girls pioneered a new breed of quick, punky '60s girl-group pop, inspiring a resurgence of distortion-heavy garage sounds over the next two years.

- Worcester rock city
When I first saw the gooey-inked hand-screened sleeve of the Golden Girls’ recent Ultimate Freedom EP, not only did I get that stirring, satisfying feeling that it had come straight from unsound minds confined to some DIY basement workshop, I also sort of got the creeps. But I think that’s only because they’re from Worcester.
- Disco stew
I’ve never been to a disco band’s practice space, but I figured it would involve lots of velvet, mirrors, and other visions borrowed from the foggy-lens films they used to show at roller rinks. Was that naive of me?

As with previous Woods records the instantly entrancing element is Earl's Neil Young–inspired falsetto, wrapped in swirls of gauzy tape hiss.
