If Vivian Girls’ most recent single is any indication, the all-female, Brooklyn-based trio are giving over to their girl-group inclinations. It’s a cover of “She’s Gone” by the Chantels, a 1960s singing group known for their doo-wop harmonies. But Vivian Girls haven’t fully abandoned their garage rock sensibilities for Grizzly Bear-styled harmonies and melodic pop. The band’s cover of “She’s Gone” is more jangly than the originalheavy on the tambourine, with the backing harmonies fuzzed our and turned downand Cassie Ramone’s delivery of the lyrics feel intentionally monotone, as she’s only ironically mourning a lost lover. There’s just a sprinkling of sugar in this single; Vivian Girls haven’t lost their spice yet. With Best Coast, TacocaT. PAIGE RICHMOND
