The only comparison I can think of when I think about the path Cherry Glazerr have traveled is that of Nirvana. Both Nirvana and Cherry Glazerr started as dirty, grungy garage bands; lo fi, all over the place with their instruments and vocals. Now, Cherry…
Tonight – Holiday Mountain
From here in Austin, Texas rises Holiday Mountain, an electronic duo with a distinct sound not far removed from the likes of Santigold and MGMT. Their new album Miles and Miles is a huge step forward for the group and the song “Tonight” might be…
