Cherry
Glazerr, the Los Angeles based trio led by 21-year-old frontwoman
Clementine Creevy, announces their fourth album Stuffed & Ready, due
February 1st via Secretly Canadian. Alongside today's announcement,
they share the lead single “Daddi", with an animated video that seeks to
visualize the song’s searing attack
against traditional gender
roles. The video was directed by artist Danny Cole, the creative
director for Portugal. The Man, who the band supported on US dates this
year. Cherry Glazerr have also announced North American and European
tour dates in support of Stuffed & Ready.

Stuffed & Ready
follows Cherry Glazerr’s Secretly Canadian debut Apocalypstick, an
album that sizzled with Creevy’s confidence, vision and fiercely
idiosyncratic personality. On that album they were lauded by the New
York Times as one of the bands that prove “women are making the best
rock music today”and were voted
LA’s “Best Indie Band” by LA Weekly.

The
two tumultuous years since the release of Apocalypstick, on
Inauguration Day in 2017, could have pushed the band toward further
explicitly topical commentary. However as Creevy began writing the
thirty songs that eventually became the ten of
Stuffed & Ready,
she found unexpected inspiration by turning inward. Her unblinking
honesty in attempt to reconcile confusion and anger in the current
political climate gives the album its power and gravity. “I am telling
my story of how I feel and where I am in
life,” she says. “I’ve felt
the need to explain my feelings ... not just state them, but search for
why I feel the way I do honestly. With Apocalipstick, I was an
over-confident teenager trying to solve the world’s problems. With
Stuffed & Ready, I’m a much more weary and perhaps a more cynical
woman who believes you need to figure your own self out first.”

Now as a three-piece composed of Creevy alongside drummer Tabor Allen and
bassist Devin O’Brien (synth player Sasami Ashworth has moved on to her
own solo work,) Cherry Glazerr made a first version of Stuffed &
Ready early in 2018 with much-loved engineer and musician John
Vanderslice. Together they concocted a “very live sounding,
self-produced album, which was cool, but wasn’t exactly what I wanted to
put into the ether right now,” says Creevy. So they approached Carlos
de la Garza, who
had co-produced Apocalipstick. “I wanted a producer
to push me. I wanted to be questioned, to rip my songs apart and look at
their guts and pour myself open again. And I wanted it to sound
massive.”

Since the first guitar demos she made in her bedroom at
the age of 16, Clementine Creevy has always wanted to make music that
connects with people. On Apocalipstick, she did that by telling them
what she thought. On Stuffed & Ready, she’s showing them who she
really is, a songwriter newly tempered and strengthened by turning
inwards.
