Vivian Girls are picking up right where they left off:
The reunion of the Vivian Girls feels like the answer to the prayers of indie rock fans everywhere. Since their initial break-up in 2014—which was three years after they released their last album, Share the Joy—their fans realized the impact of what they had lost. The aching gap led to essays, written in retrospect, acknowledging what the group's presence meant to a toxic male-dominated indie scene. Hell, they were even the subject of a lesson in a course on punk music I took in college.
Cassie Ramone: This was like November 2017. I was getting coffee in Brooklyn. Katy called me and I was like, What? Like, Hello, Katy wants to do Vivian Girls again? That's crazy... I was stoked. And then I was like, Okay, I guess I'm going to move to L.A. All right. Let me figure this out. And then I just did it. And I moved to L.A. like four months later.
What artists have you guys been listening to a lot lately that either influenced the record or maybe gave you a renewed energy in returning to music? KG: For this record I mostly was just like, What comes naturally to me here? And I've always kind of stuck with that throughout all of the Vivian Girls records. I've never really reached out for specific influences here and there. I just like play what comes to me and feels good. But I agree with all their influence.
Social media has kind of grown and changed rapidly since you'd broken up and come back. Going back into this, do you have any predetermined way for yourself to manage that, in terms of self care? KG: I agree with you Ali. I get tricked by how much positive stuff there is where I feel safe. I'm like, Oh, the Internet is a safe place full of praise and then all of a sudden you're like, Bam. No, it's not. Back in 2009, we definitely viewed the Internet as not being a place where we could find only positive things.
