Apocalipstick - Cherry Glazerr

The Guardian 80

(Secretly Canadian)

From a slight nod to the Breeders’ Cannonball to the way 19-year-old singing guitarist Clementine Creevy audibly bares her teeth on the word “guys”, Cherry Glazerr’s recent single Told You I’d Be With the Guys is a tremendous indie rock tune powerful enough to restore your faith in the genre. The NSFW video for their even more recent single, the grungy ballad Nuclear Bomb, finds Creevy getting rude with a Rickenbacker. There is a lot more to love on the LA trio’s succinct second album, pitched somewhere between early 80s post-punk and synthy guitar pop. Being from LA, Creevy has modelled, written a song for Hedi Slimane and had a small role in Amazon Prime’s show Transparent. The tunes attest that she’s not spreading her talents too far and wide.
