Mint 400 Records is proud to present the Merry Cherry Bomb catalog… on vinyl! For the first time ever, the releases of Merry Cherry Bomb will be available in exclusive vinyl editions, including an expanded, deluxe edition of her most recent release, Merry Cherry Cola. Originally released as a seven-song collection in December 2025, Merry Cherry Cola will be expanded from EP to LP for its vinyl incarnation, featuring brand-new songs available exclusively on vinyl.
Merry Cherry Bomb, the project of Boston-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and sonic shapeshifter Allison Gardner, will carry you away into a bewitching sphere of neon lights, lo-fi psychedelia and dream-pop catharsis. Gardner writes, records and produces the project herself, creating a distinctly personal world where psychedelic pop, garage rock, bedroom pop and punk collide.
Merry Cherry Bomb’s music is built from a trembling wall of guitar reverb, thunderous drums, hypnotic bass lines and spectral, echo-drenched vocals. Her songs channel the hazy warmth of ’60s and ’70s psychedelia while retaining the immediacy, weirdness and DIY spirit of modern lo-fi music. The result is a dreamy, bold and sometimes haunting wooden-spoon-as-a-microphone sound—equal parts retro fantasy, garage-rock basement and technicolor daydream.
Fan favorites including “Fake Nudes,” “Afterglow” and “Mayra” showcase Gardner’s remarkably diverse songwriting and artistic vision. “Fake Nudes,” in particular, blends psychedelic pop, Motown-inspired soul and bedroom-pop sensibilities, while “Afterglow” highlights the more dreamy and hypnotic side of the project.
And Merry Cherry Bomb isn't standing still. Following Merry Cherry Cola, Gardner unleashed “Thrilla Gorilla” in March 2026, a darker, harder-edged track that pushes the project further into ’60s-flavored punk and modern psychedelia. Gardner has described the song as a natural progression and a glimpse of what comes next.
Now, Mint 400 is bringing the full Merry Cherry Bomb experience to vinyl. With the expanded Merry Cherry Cola LP and additional catalog releases on the way, this is the definitive physical edition of a singular artist continuing to build her own strange, cinematic, technicolor universe.
