Strawberry Whiplash - Who's in Your Dreams

Astonishing 2008 debut from a promising new band from Glasgow, Scotland where everyone is in a pop band-it's in the blood, it's in the water and it's in the contract. Sandra and Laz have built a feedback wall of sunshine sound out of old fuzz boxes and reverbed drums that recalls some of the best C-86 pop from the Shop Assistants, Talulah Gosh, the Primitives, or the Revolving Paint Dream. The debut single includes the infectious lead track 'Who's in Your Dreams?' which is creating quite the buzz on international indie blogs already. It's a hip shaking pop gem with tambourines, splendid melodies, loads of reverb and just the recommended dosage of ba-da-ba's. An especially invigorating addition to the Matinée catalog, Strawberry Whiplash are early contenders for favorite new band of 2008!
