It’s been a little over a decade since Vivian Girls got started — we reflected on the 10-year anniversary of their debut album last fall — and it’s been eight years since the release of their last album, 2011’s Share The Joy. But the New York-bred trio — Cassie Ramone, Katy Goodman, and Ali Koehler — have all reconvened in Los Angeles, and today they’re announcing their reunion and grand return. They’ll put out a new full-length called Memory in September, which was recorded last fall with producer Rob Barbato. They’re also announcing that their first two albums — 2008’s self-titled and 2009’s Everything Goes Wrong — are being reissued alongside the new one.

The album’s lead single, which they’re also sharing today, is called “Sick,” and it captures that old Vivian Girls magic: a dense, fuzzy exterior giving way to dreamily catchy melodies. “Is it in my head, wishing I were dead? I wanna hurl myself into the sea,” Ramone sings. “Is it in my mind?/ Do you think I’m fine?/ But then it’s not like this ever meant anything to me.”
