Ten Years Younger on CD

Magnificent 2008 debut release from a 60's influenced indie-pop affair from Glasgow, Scotland. Bubblegum Lemonade is principally a man called Laz, a 12-string Rickenbacker enthusiast with more than a few Velvet Underground, Byrds, Jesus and Mary Chain, and Razor cuts records in his collection. Title track 'Ten Years Younger' updates the Mary Chain's take on the Velvets with nice bursts of Electronica and beautiful female backing vocals courtesy of Sandra from fellow Glaswegians Strawberry Whiplash. 'The Tomorrow People' is a wonderful 60's-drenched jangle pop gem that should please even the most ardent Byrds or Razor cuts fan, while 'Unsafe at Any Speed' is Ralph Nader meets the Mary Chain with liberal dollops of reverb and distortion. Finally, 'That Thing You Do!' is a glorious cover of the title song from the mid-90's hit movie of the same name. Matinee.
