Cherub. Great stuff. Somehow they manage to take talking shit about ex-girlfriends, substance abuse, and drinking too much, and turn it into amazing electro pop party madness that will get even the biggest anti-party cynic to dance their way through the blues.
This self-described 'sexy, avant garde, electro-pop' duo (Jordan Kelly and Jason Huber) from Nashville are on a mission to get everyone on the dance floor, poppin' bottles, and shakin' their cans. Their first digitally released EP, Man of the Hour, started significant buzz that led to a series of successful shows throughout the U.S. and (randomly) Mexico over the past few years, including opening for Pretty Lights and a few great sets at Bonnaroo, 2012. Their second album, MoM and DaD, is available for free download on the great music blog, Elm & Oak, and demonstrates a level of funkiness that defies conventional genre classification. All I know is that Cherub's combination of wonderfully obnoxious vocals, lush synth grooves, and infectious guitar riffs makes me want to party til dawn.
Here you will find a video playlist (and free downloads!) of 5 Cherub tracks: "Doses and Mimosas"; "XOXO"; "Love you Right"; "Monogomy"; "Hold Me".
Enjoy! And be sure to put one of these tracks on next time you host a house party. You won't regret it.
