VV is an interesting band in that eighty per cent of the material is actually played out in the studio, but then electronically delivered in public performance. They are also potentially a difficult band for rock writers to scribe about — they're not controversial people, being very positive and the opposite of the surly snobs who incessantly make the Pitchfork news section. Plus, their music is primarily instrumental, and reviewers usually dwell on the lyrics of records for the substance of their coverage.
