"Perfectly skewed rock." -- New York Times "Sharp, smart stoner-rock!" -- Rolling Stone "[Lovers, Lead the Way is] one stunner of an album." -- Pitchfork [7.6] Anita & Kevin Robinson have been making music as Viva Voce for nearly a decade. Their landmark albums Lovers, Lead the Way and The Heat Can Melt Your Brain are now finally reissued in this 2XCD release. Originally released in 2003 and 2004 respectively, both albums have long been out of print. Now they are together at last, available with bonus material, live favorites, unreleased tracks, and original demos. This is the release old fans and new converts have been waiting for!Viva Voce has been a constant presence and a driving force in indie rock since the group first started making music. Touring relentlessly, receiving accolades, and sharing the stage with compatriots Built to Spill, Death Cab For Cutie, Steve Malkmus, and Sleater Kinney, Viva Voce are signed with indie powerhouse Barsuk Records, who recently released Get Yr Blood Sucked Out to international acclaim. Recent fans The Shins asked Anita to sing on their latest record, Wincing the Night Away. The tracks she sang on became their largest hits, which landed her alongside the band on Saturday Night Live, the Late Show with David Letterman, and Late Night with Conan O'Brian. Currently, Viva Voce is recording the follow-up to Get Yr Blood Sucked Out, and will once again hit the international touring circuit in a few short months.
