B.W.'s PLAYLIST/ KHSU, 90.5/ SAT., 17 JULY 2010

Led by musician, songwriter and producer Matthew Smith, Detroit's Outrageous Cherry has been drawing some unusual (and overdue) attention to their brand of fractured garage pop. The New Pornographers recently recorded a 3-song EP of Outrageous Cherry cover songs for this year's National Record Day. In August, O.C. will be performing at the Wilco-curated Solid Sound Festival in North Adams, MA, featuring various Wilco side-projects, including The Nels Cline Singers, The Books, Mavis Staples and Sir Richard Bishop, among others (including DJ's from the great Chicago reissue label, The Numero Group). Check out Outrageous Cherry's new delicious disc, Seeming Solid Reality, the band's eleventh full-length release on Alive Natural Sound Records.
