Blissful, C86-style pop from this Australian indie band, which makes its North American debut on the record company they were made for, Slumberland. In addition to labelmates like The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Liechtenstein and Crystal Stilts, Summer Cats are also drawing comparisons to Brisbane legends The Go-Betweens and Canadian pop masters The New Pornographers. The record is solid throughout, but Songs for Tuesday really hits its stride in the middle with the boy-girl duo on "In June," spinning through album highlights "Wild Rice" and "Waking Up." Much like The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, the Summer Cats' LP is both undeniably catchy and extremely well-done.
