The Portland husband and wife pairing of Kevin and Anita Robinson continue to frustrate pop purists with their ability to trickle an underpinning of melody, lush vocals and calming, almost Barber Shop style backing vocals, into their otherwise rustic atmospheric and churning song process.
They mingle The Jesus and the Mary Chain with Sonic Youth to produce a dreamy and slightly mystical effect. The way Viva Voce use contrast in their songs keeps them fresh and bold.
