Once upon a time in the Spanish countryside there was someone who thought he was the rain in a sunny day Once upon a time in the Scottish countryside there was someone who thought he was the sun in a rainy night THEY ARE HAVING FUN IN A FOREIGN LAND THEY ARE FLYING HIGH THROUGH THE BLUE SKY EVEN THEY’RE NOT RIGHT Once upon a time in New Zealand there was someone who thought she was the snow in a summer’s day Once upon a time in Greenland there was someone who dreamt she was so hot in a winter’s day THEY ARE HAVING FUN IN A FOREIGN LAND THEY ARE FLYING HIGH THROUGH THE BLUE SKY EVEN THEY’RE NOT RIGHT THEY ARE HAVING FUN IN A FOREIGN LAND THEY ARE FLYING HIGH THROUGH THE BLUE SKY EVEN THEY’RE NOT RIGHT

about

[SPANISH]
Tras el éxito cosechado con su reciente EP "Sunshine Pop Ep1", y mientras se cocinan el Ep2 y el Ep3, THE YELLOW MELODIES nos sorprenden con un nuevo single titulado "We all deserve a chance", en vinilo 7" de color amarillo y edición limitada y numerada a mano en el magnífico sello griego Old Bad Habits.

Aunque llevan más de dos décadas en activo, THE YELLOW MELODIES dieron un gran salto cualitativo tras la edición de su álbum ‘Life’ (Hurrah! / The Beautiful Music, 2017) y de su reciente EP ‘Sunshine Pop Ep1’ (Discos Imprescindibles, 2020), reuniendo un buen montón de elogios de la prensa tanto nacional como internacional.

Ahora nos llega este nuevo single con tres canciones exclusivas: el tema que da título al siete pulgadas, “We all deserve a chance”, es todo un hit de europop bailable con una magnífica melodía y un estribillo arrollador, un cruce entre McCARTHY y PET SHOP BOYS. Por la cara B tenemos dos extraordinarias canciones: “Silhouette in blue”, que saca a relucir el lado más guitarrero del grupo, a lo TEENAGE FANCLUB; mientras que “Once upon a time” tiene un delicioso aire folk que puede recordar a THE BYRDS. El single 7" incluye extras como un insert a doble cara y a todo color y una pegatina.



[ENGLISH]
Just a few weeks after the success achieved with their recent "Sunshine Pop Ep1", and while they’re preparing Ep2 and Ep3, THE YELLOW MELODIES are back with a new EP entitled "We all deserve a chance", on a yellow 7” vinyl, a limited and hand-numbered one on the magnificent Greek label, Old Bad Habits.

Although they have been active for more than two decades, THE YELLOW MELODIES have never been quite as relevant as they are right now, with their ‘Life’ album (The Beautiful Music / Hurrah!, 2017) and the sheer exuberance of this year’s ‘Sunshine Pop Ep1’ (Discos Imprescindibles, 2020), gathering excellent reviews all around the world.

“We all deserve a chance” is their new single, with three exclusive songs: the title track is a fantastic europop hit with a catchy tune and a great chorus, somewhere between McCARTHY and PET SHOP BOYS. On the B side there are two extraordinary songs: “Silhouette in blue”, which offers a slight crunchy guitar sound that reminds us of TEENAGE FANCLUB; while “Once upon a time” has a delicious folk vibe that may be reminiscent of THE BYRDS. The 7 "single includes extras like a full-color, double-sided insert and a sticker.
