ViV: Flawed

With a sound lost somewhere between Coldplay and Beck, VIV has hit the music scene and beckoned its attention. "Flawed" has a bit of a Tom Petty/The Thorns vibe as it progresses lyrically with, "You're basically alright/A little flawed, but that's okay". These aren't goopy, romantic songs...they're fun tracks with thoughtful content. I can appreciate both kinds of music, and this craftsmanship and sound is certainly worth all the hype it's been getting. For a chill Guster-ish listen, this is the perfect selection.

Favorite Tracks: Did I, Shine
