The Daily Choice: Times New Viking - Rocks In My Heart
Times New Viking has shocked me twice. Once, sandwiched between sweaty stages in Austin, Texas, this band I’d never heard of, and whom I couldn’t see as the place was full far past capacity, played what seemed to be ear splitting noise for thirty minutes. Months later, on what could be the least consistent bill of all time, Times New Viking opened for Annuals, and for twenty beautiful minutes, I felt my ears bleed with sonic love. Two times, two times.
And lets call this a third. I don’t know if there’s a newly formed sweet tooth amongst this trio, but “Rock In My Heart” seems to follow the dirt-covered lollipop sound of their new album. Sure, it seems like it tastes pretty good, but you finding bits of grit, or who knows what, stuck in your pearly whites. A part of me yearns for the sonic assault, but there’s just enough here that I can digest the sugary sweet and keep on smiling.
