Times New Viking – No Time, No Hope

By Craig Smith • Sep 16th, 2009 • Category: Webcut of the Week

Just to show we’re equally favourable on Webcuts and feel every band deserves a second (or third) chance, we present an alternate side to Times New Viking in this rather unplugged rendition of Born Again Revisted album track “No Time, No Hope”. It proves that behind the lo-fi diy embroidery to their sound therein lurks some catchy harmonies and a musical sensibility that betrays their studio methods. Born Again Revisited is released on September 21 through Matador Records.

• The Too Pure Singles Club returns in 2012 with a bang (or is that a rattle) with the sound of Icelandic mantra magicians Dead Skeletons. For the uninitiated, Dead Skeletons came into existence in 2008 when band member Jon Saamunder needed music for an art installation in the Reykjavik Art Museum. Enlisting the help of friends Henrik Bjornsson and Ryan Carlson Van Kriedt the trio penned the songs which would eventually become the Dead Magick album, a 72 minute, 12 song journey through space and time, life and death. “Om Mani Peme Hung” is the sound of Neu! on a meditation retreat engaging in a spiritual hypno-chant. Now repeat after me… Om Mani Peme Hung, Om Mani Peme Hung, Om Mani Peme Hung… (subscribe to the Too Pure Singles Club here).
