MP3: Viola - Ordinary teenage sensation
"Fast forward to the good parts." Indeed, the most ordinary of teenage sensations, especially in this age of ever-decreasing attention spans. Viola makes modern pop for the disaffected, a feeling they capture in both the lyrics and the music. This is dark music that works just as well on the dancefloor as on headphones in the bedroom. Alienation is a prevalent theme on the band's new album "Wonderabilia", a problem that seems to be growing in this modern age. I should know: despite my constant online interactions with people all over the world, I sometimes go days without ever straying too far outside since I work at home. Ah, the miracle of the Internet age! Simultaneously freeing and damning! It's no wonder I feel renewed teen angst as I get closer to my 30s.
