Track Description:

“‘Cherry Granola’ is a lament to the lost attitude of carefree summertime living on the islands of Northern Michigan. This song was started in the fall, after a summer of living and working in that area of the state and wanting to the capture the self-awareness I embodied for the first time there,” Wing Vilma explains.

“I used the money I made on the job to fix my Juno-106 and laid down the three chords this song revolves around shortly after getting it back. The percussion I developed is a response to those chords, and the soloing is a response to the percussion which is what I think gave this song such a swirling movement and pulling motion as it unfolds. A field recording of my friend struggling to start their car is the first sound listeners will hear, and the subsequent percussion sounds of the opening all come from plains, trains, boats cars and buses.”

“Cherry Granola” is featured on Wing Vilma’s forthcoming album, “Safe By Night,” which is slated to release via Young Heavy Souls in February 2018.
