Strawberry Whiplsh- Who's In Your Dream?

Hazy, dreamlike vocals are backed by a wall of static guitars in this up-lifiting and joyous release from Glasgow’s Strawberry Whiplash. Sandra, Laz, Paul and Duncun all pay fitting tribute to 80s shoe gazer bands such as Jesus And Mary Chain and indie pop acts like St Etienne- with gorgeously fuzzy results.
It’s an EP which is easy to love with its hand claps, synths and simple harmonies all forming winding round echoing, reverberating guitars in these hip shaking gems, whilst the simple, almost childlike ‘My Day Today’ is pure pop perfection. Lovely stuff!
