To Celebrate its 25th anniversary, Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records present the lost classic that is
Outrageous Cherry
's
Out There In The Dark
, presented for the very first time on vinyl. Originally released via the DF2K (the contemporary sister label of Del-Fi), one of the classic labels of the '50s and '60s (
Richie Valens
/
Bobby Fuller
) and in Europe via Poptones. While earlier records shared a love of
The Turtles
,
The Troggs
, and
Television Personalities
(among a host of other stuff),
Out There In The Dark
feels like
Eno
and
Hawkwind
filtered through
Petula Clark
's hit singles and Spectorized via
Matthew Smiths
' wonderful analog production. Recorded at
Jim Diamond
's Ghetto Recorders Studio, this release makes use of a huge ancient reel to reel machine that provides that superb tape echo effect employed across this LP. Like
Guided By Voices
, Outrageous Cherry's affection for this kind of music never sounds retro, and their experimental touches make
Out There In The Dark
plays like a jukebox full of forgotten hits, a time machine with its controls set for the past and the future. Across 13 tracks, sweet melodies and harmonies soar over vicious urban Motor City guitar workouts. Motown-fueled bass and drums throb hypnotically as Matthew Smith sings as though
Brian Wilson
had been an honorary
Ramone
.
Beatle
-esque pop numbers like "Tracy", "Corruptable," and the made-for-AM radio "Where Do I Go When You Dream?" balance moodier songs like the album's narcotic centerpiece, "Easy Come, Uneasy Glow." Their trippy side comes to the forefront on the excellent, backwards guitar-driven "Only the Easy Way Down," as
Larry Rays
solos cut like a jagged knife, and in the title track's drifting guitars and shifting tempos. Smith's ultra-faithful, vintage production style sparkles on "A Bad Movie." The album closer "There's No Escape From the Infinite" ends in a trance-inducing guitar apocalypse that would make
Spacemen 3
and
The Jesus And Mary Chain
proud. Presented in a gloss laminated outer sleeve and with a four-page folded A4 insert and download code.
