Last year’s totallyblogtastic band, Vivian Girls are releasing their sophomore album on In The Red on September 8th, 2009. It is entitled Everything Goes Wrong. This is the latest in Wipers-inspired Tiger Trap-esque indierock. Reportedly, the band took “their time” and doubled their recording time compared to their last album. This translates to a whole six days. Listen to the results…

This morning I have a bunch of indiepop goodness in the form of Slumberland Records mp3s.
