Although I think I like me the Ghosts On Tape remix (find it here) better than this actual Lemonade, this stuff is pure fun. If you can’t get into it, you may just be a miserable person. Did I mention they are playing tonight at Monster Island w/ Tanlines & Pictureplane? Lemonade Pure Moods EP comes out next week.

Preorder it here (WARNING: may contain bananas and ecstasy).

I will see Frankie Rose & The Outs play live at some point in the near future (I hope). And maybe we will get a long player or an EP, or at least another single on Slumberland later this year??
