Catching up with Rachel Kennedy from FLOWERS
Viet Cong -Viet Cong
Canadian band Viet Cong manage to blend it all into something scattershot yet coherent, unified by a strong stylistic through-line and an abundance of energy. They've filled this album -Viet Cong- with cool but addictive melodies, distortion and sewing sounds together, guitar work that can sooth or bludgeon at will, and plenty of sonic atmosphere. They're making it clear they have the talent and smarts to become a major force in Canada's indie community.
