Money It Can Kill Ya

Was listening to the Cherry Blossoms while walking this morning and I was feeling it, ready to testify. They sure can put a happy hop in your step, man. These two songs especially, which could have been put to tape (in -fi that’s lower than lo-) at some postmodern tent revival shindig. Makes you wish you were there with them when they were playing them, wherever that was. Plus, that one woman has the voice of an angel. A backwoods hermit angel, maybe, but an angel still.

• The Cherry Blossoms, “Rocks and Stones”
• The Cherry Blossoms, “Glow Jesus Glow”

I know quick comparisons are lazy and all, but I can’t resist describing the Cherry Blossoms as a cross between Lambchop (their fellow, um, Nashvillites? Nashvillians?) and the Shaggs. These songs and a bunch of others can also be gotten from the band’s own site.
