SUMMER CATS – Songs For Tuesdays
(High Spot/Fuse)
Huh?: Good old-fashioned sub-three minute indie pop tunes from Melbourne five-piece featuring the Earthmen’s Scott Stevens.
What’s It Like?: Jangly guitars, crackly fuzz, grinding organs and boy-girl vocal harmonies – yep, it’s a distillation of all the best sonic elements of Scots-UK-Kiwi indie pop with an added dash of Aussie songwriting nous. Proudly derivative, but in the most enjoyable way possible.
Highlights: Christopher Wren’s wriggly keyboard hook is enticing, and the quirky sad sack lyrics of Maybe Pile contrast cutely with the joyful tunesmithery. The triple whammy of Waking Up, St. Tropez and Paperweight are equal to Screamfeeder’s finest fuzz pop moments (if we needed any further reminders that the ‘90s would have been awesome for Summer Cats).
Tastes Great With: Stereloab / The Pastels / Songs
