intro
Fantastic second EP of C-86 influenced pop from Glaswegian duo, Strawberry Whiplash
This second EP from Scottish 2 piece jangles perfectly in a c-86 manner. 'Picture Perfect' is a twee 60's-flavoured pop number featuring heavenly vocals from Sandra and sublime Rickenbacker guitars from Laz. It is as perfect as Lush or the recently reformed the Primitives. 'Hay in a Needlestack' is more honey flavoured and features sweet vocals from Sarah which are again backed by Laz's cool guitar playing. It is a song for carefree days. 'Celestial' is another track of C-86 fun, and jingle jangles well. It is a song to bring a smile to its listeners. 'Falling Through' has blazing guitars, and is reminiscent and as powerful as early Primal Scream. Fantastic!
