Scottish wonderkids Bubblegum Lemonade debuted early this year with an outstanding single 'Ten Years Younger' that earned song of the day honors on influential radio station KEXP and amassed countless positive reviews in the music press including favorable comparisons to influential 60's pop stars (The Velvet Underground, the Monkees, the Byrds) and 80's indie legends (Jesus and Mary Chain, Razor cuts, Biff Bang Pow!). Before delivering the all important debut album, the band pause for a moment to release a spectacular second EP! Title track 'Susan's in the Sky' is an everyday tale of an air hostess and her slacker boyfriend caught up in a Romeo and Juliet type scenario. It's another sunshine wall of pop with Rickenbacker guitars, tambourines and nice organ bits. A short dose of California sunshine perfect for all seasons. Among the EP's exclusive extra tracks, the cleverly titled 'Surfin' USB' is a proper jangle with fuzzy guitars and a nice Beach Boys coda, while 'Just Like You' continues the California theme in a 150 bpm mini classic drenched in Mary Chain feedback with a mix of fuzz and surf guitars. Closing track 'Holocaust' is a superb cover of the legendary Big Star classic featuring a mix of Rickenbacker and acoustic guitars. Once described as the perfect C86 pop band that just happened to turn up 22 years behind schedule, Bubblegum Lemonade deliver instantly memorable songs with brilliant pop melodies. 'Susan's in the Sky' is another remarkable success for Matinée and a vibrant reminder of the essential new pop coming out of Scotland. Limited to 1000 copies in custom minijacket sleeve.
