Summer Cats :: ‘Songs For Tuesdays’Been a while since I’ve posted on any kind of new music, huh? As I’m sitting here right now figuring out what to to write about, it almost feels completely foreign to me. That is, until I remembered something I meant to mention here a few months ago; An album that has been my go-to record of choice this summer: Summer Cats’ Songs For Tuesdays.
Released in early July on the mighty Slumberland Records — who have been releasing some great albums this year — this debut record contains 13 of the finest pop songs you’ll hear this year. This Melbourne-based band have released a number of singles from smaller, but familiar labels you may have heard mentioned on here a few times like Cloudberry and WeePOP! so it’s great to finally hear this proper full-length.
It’s difficult to pinpoint a favorite, as you’ve got a number of fantastic songs to choose from, whether it be the newly recorded versions of past singles like “Wild Rice” and “Lonely Planet” to new faves like “Maybe Pile” and “In June”. All of which showcase the many different vocalists that join frontman Scott Stevens, who is easily one of the best vocalists in indiepop right now.
Some people I know seem to cower in fear when presented with a proper pop song, but I think it’s time to clear away any kind of apprehension or animosity and just embrace it! Turn up the volume and hit the dancefloor! Okay, maybe not on the dancefloor thing. Just give this one a listen, as I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
