You know what my life was missing? It was missing a band that sound like cold callers breaking down into a monotone rant laced with irony and suicidal misanthropy while a toy band parade Casio idiosyncrasies in the background. A band wearing bad suits. A band pathologically unwilling to be noticed, remembered or enjoyed by anyone. I’d forgotten how much I used to love Vichy Government, because I’d forgotten who they were. Then I heard they were rereleasing four albums in four weeks on iTunes and I dug out my old copies and remembered when I still enjoyed ridiculous music. Click through to hear my favourite song by them.

You should check out their four records. Each one is better than Empire of the Sun or whatever bullshit people like. These are the albums they’re crowning these four weeks with.

Carrion Camping  -  was released on 2nd March

Whores In Taxis - 16th March

White Elephant - 30th March

Vanity Publishing (b-sides and rarities) -  13th April

They’re all out on Angular, you should buy them all for your mother. It would be a weird gift.
