A fantastical world blooming between delicacy and pop
This EP from Scottish female duo Strawberry Switchblade encapsulates their soft yet nuanced pop sensibility, centered around their hit song "Since Yesterday."
This 12-inch compactly embodies the charm of Strawberry Switchblade. The crystalline melody and dreamy arrangement of "Since Yesterday" radiate the brilliance that is symbolic of '80s synth pop, while at the same time exuding an introspective lyricism. "Go Away" and "Secrets" intertwine delicate vocals with electronic sounds, creating a striking composition that lurks melancholy beneath a superficial cuteness. The textures of the synthesizers and rhythm box are unified, painting a clear worldview despite the short recording time. This is the album that most clearly captures their musicality, which effortlessly traverses the boundary between pop and ennui.
