Stay Happy

VINYL FORMAT. From the same Detroit-based family that gave birth to the Sights, White Stripes, Dirtbombs, and Electric Six comes another rabble of Detroit mainstays: Outrageous Cherry. The variety of music -- consisting of ballads, outer space atmospheres, distorted rock 'n' roll wig-outs, and symphonic arrangements -- are unified by an A-side single aesthetic dominating most of these tunes. Outrageous Cherry specializes in bubblegum observations of a world gone insane and manages to be a consistent favorite on Little Steven's Underground Garage radio program.
