Depression Cherry is the band's fifth album on Bella Union. Depression Cherrywas produced and recorded by the band and Chris Coady at Studio in the Country in Bogalusa, Louisiana. This record shows a return to simplicity, with songs structured around a melody and a few instruments, with live drums playing a far lesser role. With the growing success of Teen Dream and Bloom, the larger stages and bigger rooms naturally drove them towards a louder, more aggressive place; a place farther from their natural tendencies.
