The Loves – Bubblegum

• 3rd Nov 2010

The very talented Simon Love from The Loves has created not one but TWO videos for the forthcoming double A-side single December Boy/Bubblegum. Here we're flipping things on their heads and giving you the video for the AA side “Bubblegum” NOW as well as a trailer for the “December Boy” video, just to tease you before the real unveiling in a few weeks (by then it'll be nearly time for the December Boy to take centre stage!) and you can see how the story of a boy in search of his missing heart unfurls.

The new single by The Loves, December Boy, is the first to be taken from their fourth and final album …Love You, and the first on which Jenna Love (The Loves' J-Lo) takes lead vocals. Recorded live at Soup Studios in London's glittering East End, it turns the chorus for September Gurls by Big Star into a Spector-esque girl group pop number, with help from Liz Hunt from The School and Emma Hall from Pocketbooks on backing vocals, as well as Rob Jones (AKA The Voluntary Butler Scheme) on organ. Real life violins also make an appearance. Flip-side Bubblegum is equally upbeat, but with more of a 60s garage Nuggets feel. The single will be released on bubblegum coloured 7″ vinyl.

The album …Love You will be released in January before The Loves call time on the whole tawdry ten years by imploding in a mess of badly drawn paper hearts, cheap alcohol and bodily fluids on Valentine’s Day 2011.
