Summer CatsSongs for Tuesdays(Slumberland)
SOUNDS LIKE: House Martin-style ultra catchy indie pop for cool cats.
By: Anna Dobbie
WHY/WHY NOT: Don’t judge a book (or album) by its cover, unless it’s the debut from this cutesy Australian five-piece. The technicolor explosion of rainbows and cut-out critters represents the shiny happy world as seen through the rose-tinted sunglasses of these wide-eyed young kittens. Their sunny optimism is expressed in surfer keyboards over jangly guitars and layered vocals on "Let’s Go" and the summery, '60s-style "Super". Their lyrics are refreshingly lacking in angst and pretensions and the girly vocals from synthstress Irene sweetly compliment the songs. Although, despite pleasantly upbeat melodies, sometimes they fail to sink their claws in and grab you, and your concentration flutters away.
Soundproof Review
