Cherry Red

<p>The Residents are a US avant-garde group based in San Francisco. They officially started with the release of "Meet The Residents" in 1974, although they had been collaborating since 1969 or earlier. Known for their concept albums, multimedia projects, and enigmatic nature, the band has worked with numerous guest stars and maintains a highly secretive identity. Their name was inspired by a rejection letter from Warner Bros. Records that simply addressed them as "Residents."</p>

<p>Cherry Red is a British label that was founded by Iain McNay in 1978. Also known as Cherry Red Records, this label has become associated with the company Music and Media Group. With the label code LC 6730, Cherry Red has made a name for itself in the music industry. It is important to note that this label should not be confused with the US label of the same name.</p>

In acknowledgement of the 2024 US election and the increasingly pressing question “Where do clowns go when the show is over?” The Residents present a brand new six track EP.

Produced in secret during a pause in recording their next magnum opus album, the ‘Dookietown’ concept originates way back in the 1990s. The group were recently reminded of the project, and quickly revisited and recorded those songs as best they could remember them.

Rush released for November 1st at The Residents’ instruction, and complete with lyrics and introductory notes from Homer Flynn of The Cryptic Corporation, one thing is for certain…

The Residents may well be coming to a town near you soon. Who knows? Keep a keen eye on www.residents.com and you’ll be the first to know.
