Vicious Vicious is a luxurious pour of satisfying Electro-Rock/Soul. The culmination of nearly a decade of work in and out of the studio, on the road and in the basement, Vicious Vicious's self-titled full-length is three quarters of an hour's worth of inspired song craft and illumined production. Opener "Jumpin Fences" sets the mood and claims the band's sonic terrain, with wide-open reverb and a smooth, sexy spirit as Appelwick's falsetto comes clean into the fray. From there, Vicious Vicious engages easy acoustic-pop and sunny, So-Cal funk with equal aplomb. "I Know U Know I Know" features funky breakbreats courtesy of Dosh and a head-bobbing hitch to its groove. "The Crooked Lines" is cast somewhere on the nexus between Spoon, Broken Social Scene and MGMT. Over 11 tracks, Appelwick, Dosh and Buckley make beautiful these songs of stepping out and falling in love and getting all kinds of messed up.
