Glancing around the studio during Cherry Glazerr’s set, there was not a still body in sight. Everyone present appeared to be lost in the music in some way, shape, or form — head nodding, foot stomping, even one instance of downright thrashing came instantaneously as the  SoCal rock quartet began charging through their potent set of cuts from 2023’s I Don’t Want You Anymore and a handful of back catalog faves. 

Since forming the project in 2013 (and naming it after KCRW’s own Chery Glaser), frontwoman Clementine Creevy has deepened her Riot Grrrl and garage rock-rooted sounds while maintaining all of the sharp edges. The band — Creevy (vocals, guitar), Sami Perez (bass), Luke MacDonald (keys), and Nick Pillot (drums) — dive in head first to deliver cathartic jams about the complexities of relationships, mental health, and just… ya know… life.

Scrub to 02:06:24 to get right to the goods, and enjoy Creevy catching up with KCRW’s Raul Campos about evolving her sound, exposing secret pre-show rituals, and boys.

DJ comment:

the avatar project of Paris-based Composer/Producer, Dilouya, UK Funk & Soul Legend, John Turrell (Smoove & Turrell) and Hip-Hop, Soul/Jazz major force, Sly Johnson. On « All About Love », Dilouya shares a clavinet-filled, infuriated uptempo track reminiscent of Stevie Wonder’s golden era and Thundercat’s eccentric sound on which John Turrell delivers an anthem-like performance tackling the lack of solidarity in the paradox of our ultra-connected world.
