***Maybe songs grow like flowers. You water them or let them wilt. Eventually you have enough to pick and make a bouquet, ugly thorny or not. Welcome Strawberry's statement of a debut draws musical influence from genres like shoegaze, psychedelic, and indie rockâhowever Cyrus, the brain behind the music, sources the record's primarily influences as film (especially those of Gregg Araki), literature (think My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Moshfegh), and nineties video games like Tekken. The results are carefully stitched fantasias for future and present daydreams. Welcome Strawberry is currently located in Oakland.
