The awkward title of Times New Viking’s new album says a lot about the band. They like to be silly and they’re here to have fun. On Dancer Equired, their fifth album and their first for Merge, the band’s vibrance comes through clearer than ever due to stronger songwiritng and a toning down of the lo-fi sound that they started from. NPR is streaming the album in full, one week prior to its official release. We’ve embedded it after the jump.
Also look out for an interview with the band on One Thirty BPM soon in the next episode of Scrooged.
