Why do we like this?

"Silhouettes" is the exciting first taste of Canadian four-piece Viet Cong's promising self-titled debut album.

Made up of ex-Woman members Matt Flegel (vocalist/bassist) and  Mike Wallace (drummer), as well as guitarists Scott Munro (guitar/synth) and Daniel Christiansen (guitar), Viet Cong is a torrent of driving melodies, dynamic synths, and post-punk influences.

In an interview with Fader, Flegel detailed how "Silhouettes" was written after he was electrocuted at a show. The track deals with themes of "disconnection, intoxication, lapse of memory, regret, and the ability to laugh something off."

Viet Cong will be released January 20.

By Hugh McClure on Jun 2, 2012 | Nantes are a truly solid band. Solid sounds patronising, but it's not meant in that way at all. The Sydney-based group have gone about their work with little fanfare, but are swiftly becoming one of the most talked-about up-and-coming Australian band... read more →
