09. Flipper's Guitar - The World Tower

**"Vivian Girls"*** are an American band from Brooklyn, New York. started in March 2007 as the trio of ***[Cassie Ramone (Grzymkowski)](https://cutt.ly/vnzc08H)*** (guitar/vocals), ***[Katy "Kickball Katy" Goodman](https://cutt.ly/Mnzc8zT)*** (bass/drums/vocals), and ***[Frankie Rose](https://cutt.ly/ynzve2r)*** (drums/bass/vocals). Band named after the magnum opus of outsider author artist ***[Henry Darger](https://cutt.ly/bnzvoan)*** (titled *"The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion"*). The band paired girl group melancholy with punk nihilism in reverb-heavy songs that recalled the raw, grainy beauty of lesser-known '90s independents like ***”[Black Tambourine](https://cutt.ly/pnzvsLY)”***, ***”[Talulah Gosh](https://cutt.ly/AnzvhqF)”***, and ***”[Tiger Trap](https://cutt.ly/qnzvzkr)”***. In their initial seven-year run, the band toured the world and released new music constantly, the economic hooks and fuzzy urgency of their 2008 self-titled debut album becoming influential in their own right. While only a band for a short while, they recorded a demo which included five original songs and a ***”Wipers”*** cover, and began to play locally in Brooklyn and Katy and Cassie's home state of New Jersey. Within the first couple of months they had already developed a strong local following, supporting acts like ***”Jay Reatard”***, ***”[Sonic Youth](https://cutt.ly/xnzm13C)”*** and the ***”King Khan & BBQ Show”*** as well as finding kindred spirits in other locals like ***”Cause Co-Motion!”***, ***”Crystal Stilts”***, and ***”[Woods](https://cutt.ly/Lnzm3Yj)”***, with whom they’ve shared many bills and helped develop a local scene. On fourth studio album, ***”Memory”*** the three bandmembers apply the musical growth they experienced in other projects - ***Cassie Ramone*** in the ***"[Babies](https://cutt.ly/HnxqeKO)"***, ***Katy Goodman*** in ***"[La Sera](https://cutt.ly/VnxqyJi)"***, and ***Ali Koehler*** in ***"Upset"***. Like a decade before, they deliver plenty of songs that add the noise of punk to the sweetness of pop, sounding tough and more focused than ever. But, the band doesn't fall into the nostalgia trap; they've taken the things that made them good and refined them to a sharp point. ***Waiting in the Car”*** is the twelfth and the last song on band’s fourth studio album ***"[Memory](https://cutt.ly/Onxocds)"***,, released on September 20, 2019 by ***[Polyvinyl Record Co.](https://cutt.ly/hnz5jzo)***, and is the band's first album since their split in 2014 and subsequent reformation. *** ***"Vivian Girls"*** info: **[Wikipedia](https://cutt.ly/SnzrRKG)** **/** **[AllMusic](https://cutt.ly/znzeQZ5)** **/** **[Discogs](https://cutt.ly/4nzvTlO)** **/** **[Bandcamp](https://cutt.ly/vnzrYEM)** **/** **[Facebook](https://cutt.ly/ZnzrU01)** **/** **[YouTube](https://cutt.ly/OnzrIV7)** **/** **[KEXP](https://cutt.ly/1nzeN4v)** **/** **[Pitchfork](https://cutt.ly/QnzeUKU)** **/** **[Instagram](https://cutt.ly/jnzrONy)** **/** **[Lyrics](https://cutt.ly/1nzeN4v)** *** More ***"Vivian Girls"*** **Organism Star** candy: **"Vivian Girls"** / ***[Tell The World ep](https://cutt.ly/unxi71E)*** **"Vivian Girls"** / ***[I Can't Stay bw Blind Spot ep](https://cutt.ly/Inxoupv)*** **"Vivian Girls"** / ***[Moped Girls bw Death ep](https://cutt.ly/Unxi6s0)*** **"Vivian Girls"** / ***[Surf's Up ep](https://cutt.ly/pnxopIj)*** **"Vivian Girls"** / ***[Wild Eyes ep](https://cutt.ly/AnxodkB)*** **"Vivian Girls"** / ***[Vivian Girls](https://cutt.ly/znxohwm)*** **"Vivian Girls"** / ***[Everything Goes Wrong](https://cutt.ly/wnxoj3U)*** **"Vivian Girls"** / ***[Share the Joy](https://cutt.ly/snxozaF)*** More ***"Vivian Girls"-like*** **Organism Star** candy: **"La Sera"** / ***[La Sera](https://cutt.ly/jnxeuDN)*** **"La Sera"** / ***[Sees the Light](https://cutt.ly/PnxeoZ4)*** **"La Sera"** / ***[Hour of a Down](https://cutt.ly/gnxeage)*** *** > **[Organism Star Official](https://organismstar.wordpress.com/)** / Complete *Organism Star* LBRY Archive!

11. Juana Molina - Filter Taps

***"Stereolab"*** are an English-French avant-pop band formed in London in 1990. Led by the songwriting team of ***[Tim Gane](https://cutt.ly/BmFnRwl)*** (guitar and keyboards) and ***[Lætitia Sadie](https://cutt.ly/dmFnYuG)r***(vocals, keyboards and guitar), the group's music combines influences from *krautrock*, *lounge* and *1960s pop music*, often incorporating a repetitive motorik beat with heavy use of vintage electronic keyboards and female vocals sung in English and French. Their lyrics have political and philosophical themes influenced by the ***[Surrealist](https://cutt.ly/imFnOlx)*** and ***[Situationist](https://cutt.ly/ymFnAt5)*** movements. Although ***"Stereolab"*** found success in the underground music scene and were influential enough to spark a renewed interest in older analogue instruments, they have never had a significant commercial impact. Meaby the key is lost in the interview where ***Gane*** and ***Sadier*** have discussed their musical philosophy - *"to be unique for us was more important than to be good"*. Although ***"Stereolab"*** found success in the underground music scene and were influential enough to spark a renewed interest in older analogue instruments, they have never had a significant commercial impact. Meaby the key is lost in the interview where ***Gane*** and ***Sadier*** have discussed their musical philosophy - *"to be unique for us was more important than to be good"*. On the ***”4AD”*** debut album ***”Chemical Chords”***, ***"Stereolab"*** take a much more pop-focused approach than their immediately previous work - which is saying something, since neither ***"Fab Four Suture"*** nor ***"[Margerine Eclipse](https://cutt.ly/7m9op14)"*** were among their more experimental moments in the first place. Actually, the shortness and directness of these songs could be seen as a bigger experiment for the band than their frequent lockgrooves and hypnotic passages, it presents a version of the band's sound that is just as vivid as their earlier output, but fizzing with immediacy and urgency. Album opens with a surprisingly swift rhythm, and bopping backing vocals, then comes animated brass, guitars, and percussion that suggest gears rotating and levers lifting and falling in playful but somewhat sinister fashion. Despite its name, the album actually features some of ***"Stereolab"*** most organic-sounding music in some time, downplaying their arsenal of analog synths in favor of live instrumentation. It manages to be even more concisely charming than ***"SL"*** from fuzzy Moogs of the ***"[Mars Audiac Quintet](https://cutt.ly/xm9iRfJ)"*** era, sacrificing little of the band’s distinctive sound for its immediacy. ***”Nous Vous Dema”*** is the tenth song on the band's ninth studio album, ***”[Chemical Chords](https://cutt.ly/Lm9obcI)”***, released on 18 August 2008 by 4AD and by ***”[4AD](https://cutt.ly/lm2h7Gp)”*** and ***"[Duophonic Records](https://cutt.ly/nmFZnnE)"***. *** ***"Stereolab"*** info: **[Official](https://cutt.ly/8mQOGE4)** **/** **[Wikipedia](https://cutt.ly/VmQOIoI)** **/** **[Unofficial](https://cutt.ly/tmQSJuL)** **/** **[Allmusic](https://cutt.ly/jmQPueG)** **/** **[Pitchfork](https://cutt.ly/omQPKqT)** **/** **[Last.fm](https://cutt.ly/JmQPVA8)** **/** **[Rateyourmusic](https://cutt.ly/emQAw1X)** **/** **[Discogs](https://cutt.ly/8mQPpky)** **/** **[Bandcamp](https://cutt.ly/YmQAuvN)** **/** **[YouTube](https://cutt.ly/cmQPhgK)** **/** **[Facebook](https://cutt.ly/mmQOB4B)** **/** **[Spotify](https://cutt.ly/WmQPONT)** **/** **[Instagram](https://cutt.ly/TmQO1ZR)** **/** **[Twitter](https://cutt.ly/7mQOMKr)** **/** **[Lyrics](https://cutt.ly/FmQS9fK)** **/** **[Photos](https://cutt.ly/rmQDumG)** *** More ***"Stereolab"*** **Organism Star** candy: ***[Peng!](https://cutt.ly/Qm9iuZM)*** **/** ***[Switched On](https://cutt.ly/3m9ifx0)*** **/** ***[The Groop Played Space Age Batchelor Pad Music](https://cutt.ly/Jm9ilaA)*** **/** ***[Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements](https://cutt.ly/Em9ib6b)*** **/** ***[Mars Audiac Quintet](https://cutt.ly/xm9iRfJ)*** **/** ***[Refried Ectoplasm (Switched On Volume 2)](https://cutt.ly/Zm31L2T)*** **/** ***[Emperor Tomato Ketchup](https://cutt.ly/um9iOXY)*** **/** ***[Dots And Loops](https://cutt.ly/Mm9iHCw)*** **/** ***[Aluminum Tunes](https://cutt.ly/am9iV6c)*** **/** ***[Cobra And Phases Group Play Voltage In The Milky Night](https://cutt.ly/bm9i2Wp)*** **/** ***[The First Of The Microbe Hunters](https://cutt.ly/Zm9i4DW)*** **/** ***[Sound-Dust](https://cutt.ly/Bm9oray)*** **/** ***[Margerine Eclipse](https://cutt.ly/7m9op14)*** **/** ***[Oscillons From The Anti-Sun](https://cutt.ly/om9ofEs)*** **/** ***[Fab Four Suture](https://cutt.ly/Ym9olIL)*** **/** ***[Not Music ](https://cutt.ly/hm9oT4m)*** **/** ***[Electrically Possessed (Switched On Volume 4) ](https://cutt.ly/Xm305mY)*** *** > **[Organism Star Official](https://organismstar.wordpress.com/)** / Complete *Organism Star* LBRY Archive!
