Best new music: Viet Cong

The new album from a reunited Sleater-Kinney dominated headlines, but one of the most interesting releases last week was a debut from the post-punk band Viet Cong.

The Canadian band features two members of the now-defunct Women — frontman Matt Flegel and drummer Michael Wallace — but Viet Cong produces a different, more straightforward sound. It’s even a little darker at points. Listen to the self-titled album below.
