Reviewed by\u00a0Aleksandra Brzezicka<\/a><\/p>\n

After living their King Gizzard fantasy in Burp and Vomit<\/em>, Bubblegum Hypnosis<\/strong><\/a> comes back to beloved dreamy drowsiness. In the newest single, Beachy Blues<\/em>, they live up to their name, serving a jazzed-up dose of dope melancholia to fill a love-sized hole.<\/p>\n

Beachy Blues<\/em> mystifies the summer that is yet to happen. Marrying Mac DeMarco with Homeshake<\/em> at the seaside, they make their own version of sad bastard music. You can enjoy the sunlight, only to realise that the best was to happen and it didn’t. It is melancholic without being melodramatic. All jazzy and groovy. Mixing\u2019s so smart that the song goes in smoother than the first sip of a cold pint on a hot day. It has a bittersweet aftertaste though, especially when lines like \u2018now my bed\u2019s so cold and I\u2019m left all alone\u2019 hit.<\/p>\n

With all the festivals and out-of-town events cancelled, vibing to summer blues feels just right. There\u2019s a twisted beauty to the heartbreak and Bubblegum Hypnosis managed to capture the nuances and irony of it.<\/p>\n

Beachy Blues<\/em> is all about looking at the sunset through blue-coloured glasses. It doesn\u2019t matter if things suck. It\u2019s chillin\u2019.<\/p>\n

Bubblegum Hypnosis are one of the coolest cats on the scene to watch out for, and if you got hooked up on their Beachy Blues<\/em>, check out rest of their stuff on social media and streaming platforms.<\/p>\n
