Viva Voce is comprised of the husband-and-wife duo Kevin and Anita Robinson. Anita handles the guitar work, Kevin mans the skins, and they share vocal duties. Their upcoming Barsuk release, Get Yr Blood Sucked Out , will hit stores September 12th. The new album is a pleasant mix of a variety of influences-- from classic psychedelic guitar rock ("Beliver", "When Planets Collide", "So Many Miles", "Faster Than a Dead Horse") to shoegaze pop ("Drown Them Out", "Special Thing"). Get Yr Blood Sucked Out is a dark and sexually-charged affair and is [...]
Every day Elbo.ws keeps track of which bands are being discussed the most and displays the results as the elbo.ws Top 10 Artists. If an artist is being blogged about enough to be in the Top 10 then they must be worthy of merit, so every weekend I'll try to pick one song from each of the Top 10 artists and post them here for you to check out. The current Top 10: Junior Boys - The Equalizer [...]
www.myspace.com/vivavoce I mentioned in my review of the Silversun Pickups concert of their upcoming tour with Viva Voce (VEE-vah-VOH-chay, Italian for "by word of mouth"), I never really got a chance to listen to anything from them besides the one song Mary posted recently. Well I finally did get to listen to a few more songs from the band and I'm pretty much sold on their sound. It's interesting as you can't really pin down their sound since it's kinda all over [...]
Clell Tickle, you're my hero. I think. Well, OK. Next to Spencer Krug. One of these days I'm going to get as cool as Chris from GvB. I mean, he had Bloc Party just drop a line on his radio program not too long ago (see here). How ill is that? It's tight as a kite, my friend. Palm's Out has that Ratatat remix of The Knife's "We Share Our Mother's Health" that everyone's been talking

A couple days ago I saw the posting of the Silversun Pickups and Viva Voce tour over on Skatterbrain the other day and literally went ape shit at the announcement of this tour. I saw both of these bands this year and each time they blew me away. This tour is gonna be one of the ones to attend this fall for sure. Here's some mp3s for your pleasure. MP3: Silversun Pickups - Well Thought Out Twinkles MP3: Viva Voce - [...]
My wife is a rockstar sex symbol. Life rocks. (Photo by Sarah Dougher) I finally, finally got the new album from Anita Robinson (and her husband, what's-his-name), a.k.a. Viva Voce . It seems like eons since The Heat Can Melt Your Brain , and I know it hasn't been, but doesn't it always seem so after something so damn good. Get Yr Blood Sucked Out was worth the wait. Anita riffs her way into your heart, [...]
From time to time I field questions about why EAR FARM isn't talking about/featuring some of the current 'hot' indie bands or songs. This site has always operated under the assumption that not featuring certain music said all that needed to be said about those artists (from an EAR FARM perspective) and that there are already plenty of other sites giving service to these much talked about bands. Besides, when any music really scratches the EF itch it gets a mention. Still though...checking in each week with what's popular over at music blog aggregator Elbo.ws [...]
Noticing that a band is co-headlining a tour with another that has recently released one of the better rock albums of the year really sticks out as being impressive. Not so much Mötley Crüe and Aerosmith here, but a whole lot of Silversun Pickups and Viva Voce. This duo, Kevin and Anita Robinson, [...]
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy (richard vission remix) Richard Vission provides a decent house interpretation of the tune. Viva Voce - When Planet's Collide (MP3) Mix dreamy shoegazer elements with plain indie rock goodness and we have a winning combo. This Barsuk band is touring with the Silversun Pickups. Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancin' (video) Brazilian Girls - Jique If you think
Lately, I have been experiencing a rare case of too-much-good-music-overload, which has put me in an indefinite state of euphoria. And of course as my duty to my fellow music community, I need to share these little pieces of endorphin-enhancing eargasms. Please enjoy! Brazilian Girls | "Jique" Cansei De Ser Sexy | "Alala" Shiny Toy Guns | "Le Disko" The Raconteurs | "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot me Down) (Nancy Sinatra Cover)" [...]

Cassettes Won't Listen , who are playing the upcoming FRICTION show on August 23rd released a remix of The Diggs "Everyone's Starting Over" earlier this week. This was one of my favorite tracks off The Diggs debut, Commute . Cassettes Won't Listen also launched a new website . The Diggs "Everyone's Starting Over" ( Cassettes Won't Listen remix) Viva [...]
Viva Voce's got an amazing record on the way and Silversun Pickups recently released an album that I've been almost unable to put down. So what do they do now? They tour across the U.S. together, of course. If you've somehow missed the boat on either of these bands then catch yourself up and make it a point to be at one of these dates. It's a shame most bands forget that Maryland exists. [MP3]: Viva Voce :: When Planets [...]

TMI Alert: I basically touch myself whenever Barsuk releases a new album. I know I’m not alone in this… I have the hinting suspicion that there are about ten thousand other sexually awkward indie kids who yank it to the luscious pop stylings of Nada Surf , Rilo Kiley , The Long Winters , and the like. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. Just try to name another label (indie or otherwise) with such [...]
Viva Voce has a dy-no-mite new album that will be released September 12th on Barsuk. Check out When Planets Collide...
Fighting off the last bits of my illness has never been so easy as with Viva Voce's new album, Get Yr Blood Sucked Out. Most of it is like a mix between Ambulance LTD's last EP and the Essex Green's last album. But then again, it's also got curious standout ...
