Behind the Riddim: The Doo-Wop Ska of Esprit de Corps’ “Cherry”

Words by Jesse Serwer—

LA’s Esprit de Corps first caught our attention earlier this year with their sublime, lovers-rock-y “Is It Too Late.” After a few quiet months, the pair returned recently returned with a new EP, Be Easy. A few days after giving us the EP’s “Love, Love, Love” to premiere, EDC are already back with a wicked doo-wop-flavored ska tune (not featured on the EP) called “Cherry.”

Back in April we hipped you to LA’s Esprit de Corps and their wicked single “Is It Too Late.” A strong, healthy blend of sweet soul vocals, an updated Studio One riddim, dub ambience and vintage-sounding hip-hop drums, it was definitely one of the freshest sounding reggae-based tunes we’ve heard all year.

Audio: Esprit de Corps, “Is it Too Late”

Words by Martei Korley—

It’s springtime in the Northern hemisphere so a warm breeze was bound to find it’s way into our earspace. Enter Esprit de Corps—not to be confused with Canadian indie rockers Esprit de Corpse. An American duo with rocksteady ambitions consisting of vocalist Shock Mama Cherry and producer Fred Card, their arrival is quite timely, plugging into the lovers rock revival currently being spearheaded by Hollie Cook. “Is It Too late” drops sweet soul vocals over an appropriately updated Studio One riddim, with a load of ambience, and vintage-sounding hip-hop drums. Could be just what the doctor ordered for Memorial Day Picnic—what do you think?
