Upstart indie-rock band Times New Viking will return with a new album on January 22. Entitled Rip it Up, it will the be the band's first for indie institution Matador Records, and the follow-up to this year's Present the Paisley Reich. The album contains sixteen short blasts of sonic power (otherwise known as "songs") including one with a title baiting one of Times New Viking's labelmates: "Times New Viking vs. Yo La Tengo." Don't fear any violent beef, though; the two groups are actually friendly and have shared stages together in the past.
