CHEER ACCIDENT featured

in Signal to Noise Magazine

  After staring at each other longingly for over two decades, CHEER-ACCIDENT and Cuneiform Records have finally decided to consummate the relationship by releasing this brand new CD: "Fear Draws Misfortune" is CHEER-ACCIDENT's sixteenth (and arguably their best) full-length. Fortuitously, the unleashing of this adventurous new CD coincides with a remarkably in-depth cover story on the band in the January 2009 issue of Signal To Noise magazine.

"...[Cheer-Accident] meld difficult, angular rock with absurdist lunacy in intentionally disturbing ways that are just brilliant." – Alternative Press

"There are few ensembles that can make noise sound both as mysterious and as strangely inviting as Cheer-Accident." – Delusions of Adequacy

"If, in twelve months time, this isn't in the Organ's top three of our 100 best albums of 2009, then we'll be looking back at a pretty extraordinary year." - The Organ - Read entire review here: http://www.organart.demon.co.uk/neworgan297.htm
