Review

"The year is too early to call, but if more records match Viet Cong's restless moods, there may not be much left of us come December."--NPR Music"8.5 out of 10...full of knowing moments and reference points-the fact that it could pass for Guided by Voices, Continental Shelf, Wolf Parade, Silhouettes, and This Heat...is enough of an accomplishment."--Pitchfork
