When we interviewed the Vivian Girls back in August of last year, we knew they were aspiring to great heights. But never in our wildest dreams did we think the three girls we saw playing house parties to small-but-appreciative crowds in early 2008 would be the forebearers for an entire scene of lo-fi pop slackers.

This new upbeat and — of course — lo-fi single “Lake House” is the Girls’ contribution to the eight installments of Almost Ready’s The World’s Lousy With Ideas 7″ series.
