A teenage supermarket job has never proven more fruitful than when three future Cradles met in the aisles of their small-town grocer. Bonding over a love of music, mind-expanding substances and exploring this curious world we find ourselves navigating through, they have been friends ever since. After years of friendship, the three decided to start playing songs together, eventually starting the band. In dire need of a drummer to complement their stringiness, the four of them were complete for a few years, playing shows and tentatively starting to write their own material. Returning from a hiatus, wherein two members of the band explored the jungles and ancient cities in all corners of the globe, they felt they needed a new creative impulse. Adding a singer to the lineup furnished the band with its missing brick in the wall. Since, they’ve been exploring new ways of making music, writing loads of novel material and further cementing their sound. The Cradles can best be described as a psychedelic indie rock band, but their sound doesn’t lend itself to pinning down into one genre. Influences from all over the world and all throughout music history are worn on their musical sleeve and blend together into the songs they write, about growing older together, in this muzzy, fuzzy world we all call our home. From the small daily happiness to the larger than life melancholies, all is poetised by The Cradles, under a comforting warmth of wandering guitars and tight grooves.
