Don't Chop This Cherry Tree


NEW BAND TO WATCH - THE CHERRY TREE PARADE

With attention turning to Kansas City after the Republic Tigers well-received debut, many KC bands are clamoring for their coattails. Near the head of the pack is the Cherry Tree Parade. Alternating between mighty guitar rock and softer elements like folky banjo and whispered vocals, the description on their press pack "fucking indie-pop," is one way to put it.

Originally from Seattle, the multi-talented Collins brothers Matthew and Jon formed The Cherry Tree Parade with new found friends. Their chemistry is apparent on tracks like “Perfectly Polyphonic,” which—true to its title —features multiple vocalists blending harmoniously. Their debut EP sees the young quartet weaving future folk, Cursive-esque riffing, with danceable melodic pop with intricately crafted electronic textures and uncommon emotional depth. The result is a bold and beautiful collection of subtly powerful music that journeys through a complex 5 song storyline. -Sean Malone
