"It's a wild record, in an expect-the-unexpected sort
of way; it's also a homemade record, in that its arrangements feel spontaneous
and minimally varnished by studio polish. It's a raw record, in the way that a
go-anywhere singer encounters an upright bass, a baritone saxophone and an
actual drum set." -- NPR Music's First Listen
"Cherry's voice begins as more of a late-Billie Holiday
croak but ascends along with the song, one step leading to the next as it grows
in intensity and feeling. For their part, the Thing treat the song's simple
melody the way Albert Ayler did European folk ditties, mixing breezily
sentimental yearning with a rush of emotion so torrential it borders on
violence and terror." -- Pitchfork [Best New Track]
"'Too Tough to Die' by Tricky's collaborator
Topley-Bird is frantic and driven; 'Golden Heart' by Don Cherry himself is
dreamy and touching. Saxophonist Gustafsson's own 'Sudden Movement' is a
standout, an alternately drifting and urgent piece that is the exploratory
hinge of this short, breathless album." -- Artforum
"Comeback Album: The Cherry Thing: On her
first effort in 16 years, Cherry pays homage to artists like the Stooges, MF
Doom, and her stepdad, brilliantly reinventing their songs-and, in the process,
herself." -- Details
