Yes, we’ve been rather quiet lately but we are back to announce three new 7” singles including a Matinée debut from one of your favorite bands. Today’s announcement is the long awaited new 45 (matinée 087) from our Scottish pals Bubblegum Lemonade! It has been nearly three years since their superb ‘Sophomore Release’ (matcd057) album, but they are back with a certified summer smash on limited pink vinyl and digital formats.
‘Have You Seen Faith?’ is a secular hymn to missed opportunities with jangling, strumming riffs, great sixties harmonies, and a memorable chorus. The song is a preview of the band’s third album ‘Some Like It Pop’ set for release this autumn.
The first of two exclusive 7” b-sides, ‘Cool Guitar Girl’ is a six string encounter and the natural response to Heavenly’s classic ‘Cool Guitar Boy’ anthem, while ‘Angry Birds’ is an angular, surf-tinged song about addiction to a certain mobile phone computer game.
The 7” is limited to 500 hand-numbered copies on bubblegum pink vinyl. The official release date is July 23 but you can get a copy right now exclusively from the Matinée shop and get a free immediate download as well.
If you are after a vinyl copy, you may want to wait a few days to order as we’ll be revealing exclusive details on two more 7” releases in the coming week that you are sure to want and combined shipping is the way to go. In the meantime, ‘Have You Seen Faith?’ is featured on the Matinée Soundcloud and on the player below so please give it a spin!
