New Single From Bubblegum Lemonade

Scottish indie popsters, Bubblegum Lemonade will release Some Like It Pop this autumn, a long-awaited follow-up to their 2010 Sophomore Release album. The first taste comes in the shape of single, Have You Seen Faith? is a secular hymn to missed opportunities with jangling, strumming riffs, great sixties harmonies, and a memorable chorus. In fact, it is the practically perfect accompaniment to this unusual period … Continue reading New Single From Bubblegum Lemonade

It dips its fingers into many musical pies – shoegaze, psychedelia, garage pop, and then coats them with hazy swirls of reverb and gentle distortion that is definitely more than moreish. Check out the delightfully woozy, surf-pop of She Says below, and order a limited run cassette or as a digital download from … Continue reading MM Shorts 404: The Sweets

On The Light Is Breaking, they so effortlessly evoke the golden days of sixties sunshine psychedelia, days of the Mamas & The Papas, Scott McKenzie and Strawberry Alarm Clock, that you’ll have the lava lamp switched on, the incense burning and the kaftan out the wardrobe before you know … Continue reading MM Shorts 402: Caviare Days
