Hazy Sour Cherry Release Christmas Single
Having dropped the sparkling Strange World this past summer, Tokyo’s Hazy Sour Cherry share a brand new single just in time for the holidays. Sure, there’s the spiritual nod to Christmas (admittedly sans schmaltz), but you can almost excuse that, as the song feels more like a great introduction to the band’s playfulness. The riffs are sharp and uplifting, ringing in step with the dual vocal delivery that definitely feels like a family holiday singalong. It’s quick and snappy, and sets you up perfectly for the B-Side of the single, a wonderful cover of Dusty Springfield‘s “Stay Awhile.” It’s a great holiday season listen, all brought to you courtesy of Damnably Records.

Well, last week was a struggle. End of the school year, for two teachers, and well, then that other thing, so we barely got to the end of the week, let alone hit the musical stride with our usual fervor. So, our end of week wrap-up, which we give you at the beginning, is a little short. But, there’s new jams from great releases like R.E. Seraphin, Why Bonnie or Dehd, plus a rad new track off Hazy Sour Cherry‘s forthcoming LP for Damnably. And hey, you can never go wrong having a Tony Molina tune in there. So, here’s to one foot in front of the other with our favorite jams from last week.
