“Just A Kiss Away” is very accessible with a playful aspect. It is overtly sexual with a Middle Eastern guitar riff. No profanity used. This track is from the album Transit Of Venus and is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/cherrybluestorms

Track 2, “Daisy Chain” ruminates on the cyclic nature of life, love and the cosmos in a late Beatles/Led Zeppelin influenced track. This track is from the album Transit Of Venus and is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/cherrybluestorms

Track 10 of Transit of Venus, “Departure” sets a lyric about the last trip we all take against a Baroque arrangement dominated by simple piano arpeggios and Phillip Glass-like strings. Transit Of Venus is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/cherrybluestorms

Track 8 on Transit of Venus, “Awaken” is a guitar-driven chimey fairytale, somewhere between The Church and early Genesis. It is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/thecherrybluestorms

Track 5 on Transit of Venus, “Her Mirror Cracked” is Power Pop with English psych/Mod elements. The lyrics describe a woman’s substance-fuelled fall from grace. Transit Of Venus is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/cherrybluestorms

Track 7 on Transit of Venus, “Violent Heart” is lyrically a dark coming to terms with one’s passions set against a contemporary groove with looped and layered production.

“Here” starts with a cool Smiths-like tremelo guitar. The lyrics are about finding someone when in a state of existential aloneness.

“While You Were Away” is jangly Power Pop. Think Pretenders

“It's worth tracking down the Cherry Bluestorms' 2007 CD, Transit of Venus (Roundhouse Recording), starting with a glittery makeover of the Beatles' "Baby, You're a Rich Man," which is blown up by ex-Dickies guitarist Glen Laughlin's crunchy, hard-bubblegum production and frosted with Deborah Gee's sweetly reproachful vocals." Falling James ~ L.A. Weekly

A haunting and powerful psychedelic track sounding like a cross between the first Velvets and The Church circa "Under The Milky Way". Features a rare appearance of multi-tracked Claviolines! ..."In their best original songs, such as "Fear of Gravity," Laughlin surrounds Gee's desperately yearning vocals with swirling arpeggios and doomy, dramatic descending chords."
