Bubblegum Lemonade - Someone Made You Sad EP

Bubblegum Lemonade - Someone Made You Sad EP
‘Someone Made You Sad’ is the stunning fourth single from the new 'Lawrence of Suburbia' album by Scottish favorites Bubblegum Lemonade. The mid-tempo title track—which has emerged as the most heavily streamed track from the album—features backwards guitar, a catchy melodica motif, and a Madchester feel to the chorus. As always, the EP features two first class non-album tracks. ‘Pure Honey’ is a blues-influenced blend of late ‘60’s Rolling Stones and the Jesus and Mary Chain. Inspired by a bottle of home-made honey given to Laz by a bee keeping friend, the song introduces his teenage son James on double-tracked rhythm guitar during the song’s outro and (along with the title track) features Sandra of fellow Glasgow band Strawberry Whiplash on backing vocals. Finally, the hypnotic ‘The Ghost of Yourself’—a successful experiment in just how far you can go with two chords and nine words—has Laz revisiting the time he was in a band in his youth, rehearsing in a friend's flat in advance of a gig. The fact that Bubblegum Lemonade has songs this good to use as b-sides to the album's fourth single gives you a little indication of the quality of unreleased tracks in the band's catalog.
