Summer Cats- Songs For Tuesdays
Fri, 10 Jul 2009 Posted at 11:30:00 AM

After several singles and EPs released to critical acclaim, these Australian indie pop darlings are set to release their debut LP on July 14.

Armed with catchy bass lines, distorted keyboards and feedback laden guitars, Summer Cats blend 60's garage pop with modern day influences like Stereolab and the greats of yesteryear Velocity Girl, to produce a unique and addictive blend of jangly indie pop.

Outstanding male/female vocals complement these gems quite nicely, as they rework a couple old songs and add some new soon to be classics as well.

Songs For Tuesdays could very well be the first great release of summer. Sometimes noisy, always melodic, mostly lo-fi, Summer Cats is full of pure indie pop sweetness, managing to probably remind you of all your favorite indie rock greats, but firmly maintain it's own identity as well.

In a somewhat unusual occurence, this is a disc where the artwork matches the music quite perfectly- colorful, vibrant and shimmering with radiance...
