Releases: Vivian Girls + Bachelorette

Mistletone is thrilled to release Share the Joy by Vivian Girls, their third full-length album and Mistletone debut, out now in all good record stores and on mail order.

Recorded at Rear House, the home studio run by Jarvis Taveniere (of the Brooklyn combo Woods), who engineered the album, the ten-song Share the Joy finds the threesome — guitarist/vocalist Cassie Ramone, bassist/vocalist Kickball Katy and new drummer Fiona Campbell — continuing to evolve and expand, sharpening and refining their transcendent mix of garage thrash, girl-group warmth and infectious pop hooksmanship. In a recent Spin Magazine feature, Vivian Girls were named one of 8 artists who most embody the Phil Spector “Wall of Sound” approach to songwriting and production. Other artists in the list of 8 include The Beach Boys, The Ramones, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. The article reads: “Of all the indie upstarts to miniaturize the Spector aesthetic in recent years–from the Raveonettes to Girls to Dum Dum Girls to Best Coast–these Brooklyn babes might come closest to earning it.”

It’s with great joy that Mistletone will be releasing Bachelorette, the third album by New Zealand’s Annabel Alpers, aka Bachelorette on May 20. This gorgeous album is bound to delight Annabel’s fans, and win many new admirers — it’s a true Bachelorette gem, winding Annabel’s voice around dreamlike synth-pop melodies. More details soon!
