This should be "most recent addition" in addition to new, because I've been pickup Times New Viking releases for a while now. Although I'm not always in love with the production aesthetic, like with previous albums, Dancer Equired! has the proper level of sugary-sweet melody to go with harsh sounds that counter balance it. This was released on Merge, with the previous two released on Matador, and it's fairly amazing a band that can be as blatantly lo-fi and noisy can still manage to interest prestige indie labels that need to move units to stay afloat.
