This Melbourne two piece come out of your speakers like a summers afternoon spent boffing lifepipes in a park. It's shiny dance music with a hint of 70s pop. It reminds me of Empire Of The Sun. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It is quite catchy and upbeat and somehow also makes me think of Simon and Garfunkel with synths and bright colours, as opposed to mad hair, melancholy and folk based harmonies. I reckon the flip side is really good. It got jammed into the caverns of my mind palace and I couldn't coax it out. Its ace. These guys totally know how to write a solid pop tune and then some.
‘Time to Wander’ is a lush and fresh song that combines contemporary electro with folk-pop and soft, warm vocals with a catchy cosmic hook. It has a tranquil retro vibe whilst sounding very ‘now’ and is instant and endearing dreampop. It currently features on the new Kitsune Maison 9 compilation and remixes come courtesy of Silver Columns, Fortune, Disclosure and Mopp amongst others.
Influenced by a mixture of musical legends ranging from Fleetwood Mac to Jeff Buckley and modern DJs from Justice to Daft Punk, Gypsy & the Cat make the perfect summer sunshine music.
