They don’t seem like nice kids judging by the cover of their sophomore LP Fine For Now, but The Vickers’ sound is warm as a sunny Tuesday mornin.

They’re also not a guy/girl duo, nor are they as British as those underpants.
The Vickers is a dude quartet living in Florence, where it’s just about impossible to be dark and angry, because this is your view.
No reverb here — for once — just nice Brit-poppy jangles with shades of Two Door Cinema Club, Vampire Weekend, and a Bob Dylan vocal drawl. Some of the commenting Italian public is POed about the familiarity of it all, but if you lobotomize that hipster side of your brain for 3.5 minutes, you’d tap your feet to the fun, solid indie rock. Even the critics can’t help but listen to the whole thing. At the very least, it’s a dope album cover.
Check out three tracks from Fine for Now, stream the whole thing, and join the heated convo.
