lexicondevil Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) I really don't know anything about this band. They sound like a noisy, psych pairing of Mother Love Bone and Sunny Day Real Estate, IMO. There is only one song, but kinda digging it, so far. Seems the /100 is sold out, but they still have the /300 pink. Also, seems like an interesting genre switch for Relapse. https://store.relapse.com/item/72815/kelly-green-hot-pink-and-orange-krush-striped-with-white-splatter-ltd-to-100 First Press 700 x Black Standard Gram 300 x Neon Pink Standard Gram *Relapse.com Exclusive* 100 x Kelly Green, Hot Pink and Orange Krush Striped with White Splatter Standard Gram *Relapse.com Exclusive* 100 x Clear (Not available to the public - Friends of band and label only) Rightfully hailed as “the noisiest pop music on the planet” by Pitchfork, Austin, TX’s cult noise rock trio CHERUBS have been purveyors of sonic bedlam since their inception in 1991. After an unforeseen return to the scene from a two-decade hiatus in 2014, the CHERUBS have now joined forces with the equally revered Relapse Records for the release of their fifth long-player Immaculada High. Recorded and engineered by Erik Wofford (Explosions in the Sky, The Black Angels, My Morning Jacket) at Cacophony Studio in Austin, Immaculada Highis 11 songs of signature CHERUBS clamor with an added twist of Texas-sized, psychedelic racket. Smooth, rumbling low-end rhythms interplay with feedback drenched, chuggin’ guitars, relentless tone and vocalist Kevin Whitley’s shrill, life-of-the-LSD-party vocals. On Immaculada High, CHERUBS loudly proclaim their title as bonafide noise rock legends who continue to forge transgressive yet remarkably accessible punk for a jaded world.

monsterrod Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Got the /100 when it went up. It sold out soon after. I've never heard them before but I liked the 1 song enough to try it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink it is I ordered mine in the middle of listening to the one track. It just struck me as something that might strangely grow on me a lot. Since I haven't heard anything else, it is a roll of the dice. And yet, I'm still thinking of maybe getting a pink, as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Here is the track from the new record. Also, I just figured out the joke with the album title. Took me a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Did someone just compare cherubs to mother love bone and sunny day? You must be listening to something else twatay and jrodan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be listening to something else That was my first impressions from that one track. I just listened to some of their other stuff and it does not apply. I do think this new song sounds different from their earlier songs that I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexrecords Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Cherubs are wild. The peak of hiding pop hooks within huge walls of feedback and noise. I'd highly recommend checking out their last LP "2ynfynyty" for those just hearing them for the first time. Their last record before that was 20 years ago, "Heroin Man", which is sort of a lost gem amongst the AmRep crowd and is definitely on the dirtier/heavier side. lexicondevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
