New Times is the sixth studio album released by
Violent Femmes in 1994, and the first to not feature original drummer
Victor DeLorenzo on drums, who'd been replaced by
Guy Hoffman. "Breakin' Up," a song lead singer
Gordon Gano had written years before, was the lead single. Its video received minor airplay on
MTV and appears on the band's
DVD, Permanent Record - Live & Otherwise. The album did not sell well, but featured many of the Femmes' most musically complex and lyrically inventive songs, including "4 Seasons," and concert staple "I'm Nothing."
"I'm Nothing" appeared in the movie Bickford Shmeckler's Cool Ideas.
