Clementine creevy8/14/2023 ![]() I had this working list and we were almost done with the record and didn't have a name for it, and I was freaking out, like "Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! What are we going to call it?" I had this whole list of names, fucking thirty different names, none of it was working. Yeah, I had a list of names for titles for the album. Were you trying to make people uncomfortable? It's so gross, it makes you uncomfortable, just the phrase itself even when you don't know what it means. I'm in love with the title, Stuffed & Ready. I wish I wasn't a feminist, I wish I didn't know the things that I did. And that that's not fun, it's not fun to be a feminist, being a feminist is fucking exhausting, because you're seeing everything that's are going on around you in a real way, in a real light, and it sucks. I learned all these incredible things about the world and I started to see the world in a new light. I took a women's studies class and it changed my life. It's so much easier said than done with feminism, because my feminism has, how do I explain this. No, you're exactly right, I'm exactly like those people, if not better!. Do you take any cues from that tradition?I just want to say I feel very honored that I was just compared to those folks. It reminds me of this age-old strategy of women in punk, from Blondie to Riot Grrrls, of exaggerating femininity: pouting and simpering, and then fucking it all up. You play with this ironic pseudo-submissiveness a lot in your music. It just turned into this ironic song.I was just feeling so pissed off, about what was expected of me in relationships. I felt like I had put myself in this subservient role as a girlfriend, and it made me really pissed off, both at myself and at the system that society's created for people like me. I felt more awake than ever, because I had just gotten past it, and I felt like I could see it in clear light. I don't know, I felt like I was awake to some of the shit that I had gone through. I had just gone through some personal stuff in my life, and I was feeling very. ![]() This weird, cool arpeggiated thing, and I was just loving it. I was jamming with my band, and I came up with that little bit and we all started jamming on it, and it was really cool. I was playing that in our old practice space. So "Daddi" happened with this riff that I came up with. But Creevy's just laughing to keep from falling apart completely.ĭespite that Apocalipstick versus Stuffed & Ready narrative, there's still a lot of anger on this album though. These moments of lunatic humor, which can also be found on "Stupid Fish," "That's Not My Real Life" and "Wasted Nun," are the closest Stuffed & Ready comes to any kind of rallying cry. But unlike other feminist cracks, Creevy never loses sight of violence: "Smoking makes me taste like metal/ to keep you away" she sings, invoking how self-sabotage can become a form of self-preservation for women, especially against the kind of sexualization and humiliation that Creevy is undoubtedly familiar with, as a frontwoman, model and actress. On standout single "Daddi," a bludgeoning satire, Creevy whimpers over schizophrenic drum machines and a taunting chord progression."Where should I go daddi? What should I say?/ Where should I go daddi? Is it OK with you"/ Who should I fuck daddi? Is it you?" she sings, ridiculing patriarchal control, romantic and societal, with caricatured submission. The official music video features Pete and Clementine hanging out and having fun at New York’s legendary Coney Island beach.Many rock artists write bloody songs about bad feelings, but Cherry Glazerr has an unmatched talent for caustic, slightly beserk humor. This is the mark of the next musical chapter for me and I hope everyone enjoys it!" - Moon Boots We got together late last spring when she happened to be in NYC, and we wrote the song in two creative sessions. “I got in touch with Clem after hearing her on tracks with Cherry Glazerr and I was immediately drawn to her voice - she has these amazing, gentle melodies, but sings them with a rawness that grabs you. A winning combination of funked-out melodies, fast-paced breaks, and Creevy’s cheeky vocal, ‘Come Back Around’ signals a strong return for Moon Boots to Anjunadeep following two exceptional albums - ‘Bimini Road’ and ‘First Landing’. Anjunadeep is excited to welcome back Moon Boots (Pete Dougherty) for his playful new single ‘Come Back Around’ □Ī collaboration with lead vocalist Clementine Creevy of LA rock band Cherry Glazerr, ‘Come Back Around’ tells the story of a nostalgic lover playfully calling their crush back to them.
