The EP is called “Susan’s in the sky”, and like last time it includes four great popsongs with a high focus on melody and some kind of retro feel. These are very different sounding songs, – from the title track with a great story, and equal parts Beach Boys and Jesus & Mary Chain influences via the beautiful, … →
