New Song from The Sharp Things - Cruel Thing
From the band:
Our new album was mixed and mastered and ready to go, but then Sharp Things leader Perry Serpa played a demo of "Cruel Thing" for Bar/None Records owner Glenn Morrow, who proceeded to get very excited and insisted the tune be included on A Moveable Feast. Our intrepid co-producer Prince Polo came to the rescue, arranging for a two-day session at the Truth & Soul recording studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Successor to the fabled Soul Fire Recordings, Truth & Soul specializes in recreating the classic soul sounds of the late '60s and early '70s, and that's just what we got!
That's all, hope you dig it, thanks for your attention.

"Hyperbole is warranted. 'Cruel Thing' is a thrilling, shiver-inducing torch song that condenses and focuses the Sharp Things' best traits: their honkin', eleven-members-strong sound, their savvy songwriting, and their infectious energy."
- All Music Guide
"A succulent, inspired track with the soulful compassion of The Commodores and the sweet string stirrings of Stravinsky."
- Perfect Porridge
"If you, like me, were raised on worn-out cassette copies of the soundtrack to "The Big Chill," this track will surely melt your heart. An instant classic, if you will." - Fly High, Duluth!
"'Cruel Thing' is the one. Amy Winehouse transported to Al Green via Marc Almond. Oh these strings!"
