The Los Angeles-based band Cherry Glazerr released “Rabbit Hole” in December 2020 as a taste of “more to come in 2021”, according to the band’s Instagram. This is a continuation of the diverse Cherry Glazerr discography: it offers exciting new sounds and turns the page to a new chapter of Cherry Glazerr’s musical development. With wild synthwave beats and a bit of a disco twist, “Rabbit Hole” sounds unlike any other song by the indie trio (aside from their classic drippy guitar and Clem Creevy’s signature vocals that give the song its Cherry Glazerr feel, of course).
In the eight years of Cherry Glazerr, their collection of songs & albums have become a reflection of their intrepid approach to music creation— experimenting with new sounds and writing what they feel like. This free flowing technique has worked quite well for the group, too, with their most popular songs being from each album and era. In the top five most popular Cherry Glazerr songs sits “Rabbit Hole”, having been released only a little over a month ago! This is impressive, considering how many classic CG songs and underground music favorites lie in the trio’s discography.
Clementine Creevy says that “Rabbit Hole” is all about expressing one’s true self and never acting a certain way to get the approval of others. This message is transmitted well in the song’s bold and expressive instrumentals and lyrics. “Tried too hard not to be distasteful/ But you led me down a rabbit hole”, sings Creevy in a soft falsetto, which has a nice contrast with the song’s grungy and intense sound. This exact intensity helps to personify the song’s theme. It’ll be exciting to see where else this message of being unapologetically true to one’s self will appear in future releases, and what other themes Cherry Glazerr will explore on the way.
