-
After
spending
nearly
a
decade
recording
and
touring
with
the
collaborative
psych
rock
band
Quilt,
Anna
Fox
Rochinski
has
completed
her
first
solo
record,
Cherry.
You’ll
notice
immediately
that
Cherry
is
a
total
departure
from
Quilt.
Over
the
last
few
years,
Rochinski
realized
pop
was
the
most
authentic
vehicle
for
her
and
unites
her
varied
musical
influences
under
its
expansive
umbrella.
As
she
puts
it,
“I
lost
interest
in
chord-based
guitar
music
and
constructed
this
record
mostly
from
melodies
and
beats
and
bass
lines,
with
guitar
as
an
accessory
rather
than
necessary
ingredient”.
Rochinski
names
several
main
influences,
including
Madonna,
Can,
"Midnite
Vultures"-era
Beck,
Hungarian
guitarist
Gabor
Szabo,
and
Robyn's
1995
debut.
"I
challenged
myself
to
crack
open
all
my
habits
and
really
live
in
a
new
world",
she
says.
There
are
changes
in
the
lyrical
approach
as
well.
She
sees
it
as
a
second-wave
coming
of
age
record.
“It’s
the
most
personal
stuff
I've
ever
written,”
she
says.
“It's
basically
a
break
up
album,
but
one
that
documents
a
time
period
ranging
from
the
last
few
dying
months
of
a
six-year
relationship
and
straight
into
the
period
following,
when
I
was
truly
on
my
own
for
the
first
time
in
a
very
long
time.
A
break
up
not
just
with
a
guy,
but
with
an
entire
place
and
an
entire
life.”
Rochinski
began
writing
the
record
at
the
end
of
her
tenure
in
a
cottage
in
the
Hudson
Valley,
and
continued
writing
during
the
uncomfortable
transition
out
of
a
stable
life
she
had
worked
hard
to
achieve.
"This
record
was
written
while
I
was
shedding
many
things
that
were
very
precious
to
me,
but
I
knew
I
couldn't
keep".
After
a
few
stints
on
the
west
coast
she
ended
up
in
NYC,
without
intending
to
stay
long,
but
that
is
where
she
ultimately
decided
to
nest,
as
work
on
Cherry
began.
Cherry
was
recorded
with
Ava
Luna's
Carlos
Hernandez
and
Julian
Fader,
who
stepped
up
as
co-producers
to
help
organize
and
expand
upon
months
of
material.
