Cherry Bomb, the solo project of MisterWives frontwoman Mandy Lee, has released her debut album, “The Pursuit of Pleasure,” according to the announcement from Big Hassle Media. The 11-track record was written during a period of personal upheaval and grief, with Lee describing the project as an intentional exercise in writing only uptempo songs, foregoing ballads, to explore how joy and pain can coexist.
The album includes previously released singles “Never Be Me (M★ther★cker),” “Digital Girl,” “Sorry You’re Not Sorry” and “Myriad Reflector,” each accompanied by music videos. The centerpiece track, “Oxymoronic,” addresses what Lee calls the contradictory emotions of grief and healing.
Cherry Bomb is set to play an album release show at the Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles on November 18, followed by a homecoming performance at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn on December 7. Both shows are sold out, according to the announcement.
