Cherry Glazerr
I Don't Want You Anymore (clear Vinyl)
It's been four years since Cherry Glazerr released their resplendent third album Stuffed and Ready, but Clementine
Creevy has been in no rush. "I've spent these years taking a hard look at myself, at my relationships, and writing about
it," she says. "I guess I'm coming to terms with a lot of my bullshit." Cherry Glazerr has been on the road more often
than not since Creevy was still in high school, and when the pandemic hit, she immersed herself in a static existence
shed been deprived of. kkCreevy describes Cherry Glazerr's ambitious new album, I Don't Want You Anymore, as some of her
most personal, raw music to date, a collection of songs that elaborate on this period of self-reckoning. It's the first
she's produced since Cherry Glazerr's garage rock debut, Haxel Princess, released nearly a decade ago when Creevy was a
teenager. kkCreevy describes I Don't Want You Anymore as a "mature" album, moreso in reference to her personal growth
than a reflection of the record, which in true Cherry Glazerr fashion is best described as Extremely Fun. To make it,
Creevy linked up with producer Yves Rothman, who's best known for his work with Yves Tumor. kkLead single "Soft Like a
Flower" exemplifies that growth. A murky guitar riff inaugurates the track, before Creevy's unguarded vocals enter the
mix. She sings of a consuming obsession and is joined on the chorus by longtime bandmate Sami Perez. It's proudly
emotive, what Creevy calls an "Evanescence moment." "It's a real 'losing your fucking shit' kind've vibe," she says. "I
wanted this album to be just heart and soul. Completely exposed."kkI Don't Want You Anymore uses the element of surprise
to its advantage; each track is a radical reimagination of what Cherry Glazerr is and can be. "Bad Habit" opens with a
spiraling vocal loop that Creevy began recording at home and it expands into a delirious downtempo dance track without
ever invoking a guitar. The subsequent track, "Ready for You" is sung in funky staccato and the initially spare bassline
on the opening verse is eventually overtaken by a massive, staticky guitar riff that reminds you this is, at its heart,
a rock album. These are songs to soundtrack the listener's life, a score to suit any occasion. The titular track makes a
promise to an unnamed other, but the repeating lyrics on the bridge could just as easily serve as a love letter to
listeners: "In the end, you're always holding me."
