Sam Friend and Curtis Nystrom are the apple core of Cherry Jungle. Coming up in Miami, the two met at school and became quick buddies. Bouncing around the music scene in respective projects they also made a habit of hanging out, bonding over basketball and different instruments. Naturally a flow and rapport formed. Often they overlapped on bills, in studio, on stage, and at sun-drenched jam spaces. Cut to when they both wound up based in Brooklyn, where they began writing for this thing in between stints on the road with other groups. Getting back and settling in they kept tinkering, and the collab coined a name. What came was a synthy, psyche-pop outfit that mixes live, analog, and programmed touches.
