Austin Coven’s “Cherry Bomb Explosives” detonates with a bass-heavy intensity that stitches together indie sleaze, hyperpop, and dance-pop into a kaleidoscopic sonic experience. Anchored by introspective lyrics grappling with themes of self-sabotage and anxiety, the track is a raw yet cathartic anthem for our collective inner chaos. Featuring masterful production from pluko—an emerging EDM talent whose resume includes tours with ODESZA, Flight Facilities, and Elderbrook—this single proves Coven’s ambition to create music that resonates far beyond the dancefloor.
Rooted in the revolutionary ethos of house music pioneered by LGBTQ+ DJs, Coven taps into a rich lineage of defiance, freedom, and boundless creativity. His music embodies the same raw energy of his predecessors while carving a space entirely his own. Seamlessly blending house, pop, grunge, and the gritty glam of indie sleaze, Coven builds immersive worlds where poetic lyricism and bold experimentation collide.
“Cherry Bomb Explosives” doesn’t just sound good; it feels vital. Its unpredictable yet unforgettable nature showcases the Long Island-based artist’s flair for crafting music that pushes boundaries while staying true to the spirit of the genre’s origins. As the second release from his upcoming utopian concept project, The Hummingbird Cabin (due February 2025), the track hints at an ambitious soundscape that promises to redefine what pop, house, and indie can achieve together.
Coven’s vision is clear: this is music for both the head and the heart, a dazzling manifesto of what it means to be free—on the dancefloor and beyond.
