WHITNEY K - Vivi! LP

Highly recommended.

Anudda Album of the Year 2023 contender!
Can be found filed in our new section... "Proto-Punk / Velvets-y chug"

‘Vivi!’ encapsulates everything that makes store-favourite Whitney K unique - the freewheelin’ songwriting, visions painted with utterly precise strokes, rock’n’roll bravado, sonic interplay, feedback and shimmer, velvet touches and goldmines, Modern Lovers, Television, Fred Neil, Harry Nilsson, Karen Dalton and the jingle-jangle of tomorrow. Played beautifully by Konner Whitney, Joshua Boguski, Marlon Kroll and Avalon Tassonyi, there is no way back, only one way in and it’s positioned crystal clear right in front of us. Alive.

It has truly been a delight introducing unsuspecting customers to the wonders of Whitney K, with the superb Hard To Be A God following the excellent Two Years. It's no exaggeration when we say people stop us on the street and at shows to say such things as "Richie, thanks for introducing me to Whitney K - I can't stop playing it! And the wife LOVES it too!"

If ‘Two Years’ was the thunder, the rawness and the spirit, a combination of outsider folk, modern psych, grit, humor and everything in between, ‘Hard To Be A God’ was the sophistication, the dedication, the mind traveling far and beyond… ‘Vivi!’ is the hot sauce missing, the perfect setting, the inevitable gift, really putting the word ‘motion’ behind the poetry, the electricity carrying the rollicking combo, the road opening up literally wide and infinite and the wide-eyed dreams becoming a coliseum standing in front of the chaos.
