What we say

Rating: happy This record left our BRIAN D feeling happy.

Cats in Paris are the latest hopes from Manchester trying to inject some spunk & originality into their cities legacy. And boy, do they succeed. Not a Joy Div bassline in sight not a Smithsian jangle to be heard or a Roses-esque monkey wail to be winced at. 'Courtcase 2000' is brooding groove-prog, & epic strange-pop. The single strikes me as up there with the best tracks from the last Chap album, and overall they have that same uncanny knack with timeless harmonies & sudden jarring dadaist deconstruction whilst keeping to a very melodic track, injecting some lovely mournful strings into the spaces between the motorik future pop. They've definitely latched onto the underground's new found love of classic analogue sounds, starchasing schizo indie pop epics and wonky, celebratory hook laden madness. They are like a cross between Add N to X and Johnny Foreigner so really a great deal of fun. The most important thing is, because of the ever morphing wall of intriguing sounds and the zig zag feel of it all, you're never bored. Also for fans of Kling Klang and TCFTSIST. on Akoustik Anarkhy, CD only.

What the label says:

Manchester’s Cats In Paris are currently one of the most hotly-tipped new U.K. bands.

- NME ‘WHAT’S ON THE STEREO’ : "MULTI-COLOURED, MULTI-GENDERED ZOOOOM-POP FROM MANCHESTER. STRICTLY NOT THE NEW COURTEENERS, THEN."
- SUNDAY TIMES: "FORGET THE TING TINGS, EVERYONE’S EARS ARE NOW TUNED TO THESE WONKY INDIE-POPPERS."
- MOJO : "CUT-UP ROLLERCOASTER-POP THAT’S FIZZING WITH IDEAS."
- Q MAGAZINE: "DELERIOUS ELECTRO-ORCHESTRAL MAYHEM FROM MANCHESTER, CATS IN PARIS’ MUSIC DEFIES BOTH CONVENTION AND EXPECTATION."

Clearly the quartet of giddy oddball city dwellers that make this experimental pop music, wear their influences brightly on their flea collars.

Spiritually suggesting a less mathematical and more upbeat version of Washington ’s Apes or a cuter Deerhoof or by association, maybe the violin marinated pop of Patrick Wolf. Texturally, in places the listener is reminded of the filigree detail found in Godspeed You Black Emperor records, or perhaps the more exuberant moments of Broken Social Scene.

Whatever your verdict Cats in Paris are certainly twisting more than a few discerning ears and are surely
spearheading the melodic noise scene currently keeping things interesting in Manchester.
