Walking in The Sand with Sweet Valley Slumber Party - An Interview


O ensolarado e altamente californiano, Sweet Valley Slumber Party faz jus ao nome e faz conexões com a gravadora Slumberland e sua sonoridade retro 60´s, um mix de bubblegum, girl groups e class of 86.

Virgins o ep do SVSP é simplesmente pegajoso, viciante e um verdadeiro refresco para a mente.

Apaixone-se.

Cheesy dream pop.


Tell us about the process of recording your songs?
We record everything at home, Kam records all the instruments and I drink way too much wine and record my vocals.
