Cherries

Released in 2007, Cherries is a six-track EP that serves as a curated collection of rarities, live recordings, and stylistic experiments. The project is notable for its inclusion of 'Dance With the Angels,' a live acoustic performance from the 1997 Lilith Fair, which captures the height of the 90s singer-songwriter movement in its most essential form. The EP also showcases Loeb's versatility through 'Eno Ambient #5,' a departure into atmospheric textures that contrasts with her typical folk-pop structure. The title track, a cover of the 1931 standard, sets a whimsical, nostalgic tone that permeates the record. Critically, the EP is viewed as a treat for completists, offering a more 'lo-fi' and stripped-back perspective on Loeb's artistry compared to her studio LPs. It highlights her signature breathy vocal delivery and her skill as an acoustic guitarist, emphasizing her position as a foundational figure in modern indie-folk.
