The new “Matinée Holiday Soirée’ EP (matinée 078), with fantastic new and exclusive seasonal songs from Bubblegum Lemonade, Champagne Riot, Math and Physics Club, Northern Portrait, and Strawberry Whiplash, has received plenty of well deserved attention from the indie music press the past few weeks. In its review, the always sharp A Layer of Chips suggested “when you’re around your folks house on the 25th, and your Mum tipsily suggests putting on that bloody Cliff Richard album for the 15th year in a row, pour her another glass, sit her down and put The Matinee Holiday Soiree on the stereo instead. She’ll thank you for it.” Some of our other favorite quotes include:
“A holiday staple for years to come.” —Three Imaginary Girls
“Stunningly brilliant [and] arguably the most interesting Christmas compilation of 2010.” — Hits in the Car
“The perfect gift for your pop loving friends” — Austin Town Hall
“A smashing little EP from those nice folk over at Matinée” — God Is In The TV
“The perfect way to start the festive season with a bang.” — The Devil Has The Best Tuna
“A welcome addition to the world of holiday music.” — Erasing Clouds
As expected, the EP is our top seller at the moment so pick up a copy now so you don’t miss out!
The great holiday sale at the Matinée shop is keeping our elves nice and busy so we’re extending the sale prices through midnight on January 2. Please see the Matinée shop for all the savings.
