Mercy Lounge swooned while the mobbed corners of the viewing floor spun. Filtered through moist screams, friends of molly and children with exes on their hands and smoked liquor in their hearts, happy to have companions who have fun the same way they do, a chant could be heard bouncing across the rafters. "This is baby-making music," said one swaying observer when asked to describe the bands capricious, cross-genre vibe. With thoughts of Al Green and Barry White running wild, it was surprising when two white kids from Murfreesboro stepped to the podium, and the lusting crowd went nuts at [...]

Jordan Kelley and Jason Huber aka Nashville groove experts Cherub are playing a show tonight at Mercy Lounge surrounding the release of their new album, MoM & DaD . The record features roughly one hour of new material that sounds like something that might've been playing on the set of an early 80s porno shoot, complete with bouncing basslines, Kelley's sharp falsetto leads, sunny synthwork and laid-back percussion. My current favorites are "Doses and Mimosas," "Hold Me (ft. Dominic Lalli)," "Monogomy" and "All (ft. Natalie Prass)" but favorites tend to [...]
West from Nashville, Cherub, has been releasing tunes for only a few years, but have already made quite the name for themselves. Signed to Elm & Oak Records, they make soulful, synth-pop jams, playful heartbreak music, heartbeat music that's crafted honestly different. It's like synth satin for your ears, but with a cool 802s bounce that promotes movement and ease simultaneously, it's music with sass and lucidity that'll have you grinning ear to ear. In anticipation for the release of their new album, MoM & DaD, the duo has released a high-energy, vibrant little single known as "Doses and Mimosas." [...]
In case you missed it, the lineup for this year's Snowball Music Festival was announced recently and it's totally nuts. Any festival set in Vail, Colorado would be something to pay attention to regardless, and this year the promoters went all-out on the talent by snagging Snoop Dogg, Bassnectar, Rusko, TV on the Radio, Big [...]

Today I've got an amazing new remix of one of my favorite new bands, Cherub. We posted their Man of the Hour ep for free a few months back. Their dance powered band with electronic elements has an amazing sound reminding me a little bit of MGMT or Ghostland Observatory. Well today I've got a remix of the track 'Love You Right', and it's from the talented guys who brought the massive Sexy Back remix. Right from the begining you can tell it hits hard, but still taking awhile to really extra crunchy drops. The vocals work so well with [...]
Cry Wolf 's first appearance on Earmilk was a dubstep version of an indie classic, "The Suburbs". In that post, they mentioned how they like to fuse "melodic qualities of indie music, and the raw slamming rhythm of hardcore". Well, the time has come for another crazy mix from Philips and Lewis. Cry Wolf stimulated Cherub 's "Love You Right" with their morbid touches of the electronic mixing board. The funky vocals are still blended in the track along with the catchy pop chorus, "so I can love you right". In the middle, there is a drop that can [...]

Prog-pop duo Cherub bring a sound cultivated through "fun", dance-friendly with content that can be both sincere and along the lines of what your favorite rapper might say.

Today I'm really excited to give you guys a real amazing free released from new group out of Nashville, two piece Cherub. I caught these incredibly talented guys at this year's Electric Forrest where they were playing a secret set with Michal Menert, Two Fresh, and Elliot Lipp in the Good Life camping area late night. The unannounced secret late night 3am set made me a fan of the group. Then Elm & Oak asked me to team up for the release of this ep, and after one listen through I was hooked. They've got an amazing solid unique sound, that reminds [...]

Nestled within the pristine surroundings of Rothbury, MI's Double JJ Resort, newcomers to the area could not have expected the transformation that would take place over the extended Fourth of July Holiday. True, the resort held the previous Rothbury festivals, but with bill toppers Bassnectar, Skrillex, Edward Sharpe, and Pretty Lights, Electric Forest Festival brought a considerably different audience than the jam-band heavy editions of Rothbury. However, as in year's past, the cornerstone of the festival is the highly decorated Sherwood Forest. Holding a small stage, Sherwood Forest was also packed with hammocks available to the masses, an [...]

It's the most wonderful time of the year! And since you've all been such good ghouls and boys, I'm handing out my biggest bag of treats yet. I've added to last year's Halloween mix, and it is now a lurching monster of 66 tracks. You can download the entire mix as a zip file at the bottom of the list. I will be attending my fair share of Halloweeny events this year (I already went to a book launch dressed as Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas, but that's a surreal story for another time), including a Neil [...]

From time to time in the course of human history natural depravity plumbs new depths—and not only during wars. The Sawney Beane case concerned a family that lived in a cave and chose murder, cannibalism, and incest as its way of life. For twenty-five years this family, rejecting all accepted standards of human behaviour and morality, carried on a vicious guerrilla war against humanity. Even a medieval world accustomed to torture and violence was horrified. Sawney Beane was born in a small East Lothian village not ten miles from Edinburgh. His father worked the land, but [...]
