Producer//Composer//Cat Botherer

One auspicious day, a bored musician with a love of technology and a dream of bending rules and weaving tales suddenly found herself bitten by a radioactive cat.  She stared deep into its laser eyes, completely transfixed. The cat was telling her something, with a tiny twitch of the whisker (to adjust the frequency) the message came through loud and clear. Nano-seconds later, twinned with a strange desire to sit on her neighbours car bonnet, she shirked off the responsibilities of a mundane life, pawned her guitar, midi-ed her hairbrush and bought a sampler...


"Catnip and Claws pulls off track after track of dynamic, inventive and expertly constructed electronica, tempered by a surprising diversity in sound and instrumentation.  It’s hard to avoid gushing like a doe-eyed fool." 
- Netlabelism.com


"The fact that someone is universally popular with her peers and says that she is into cats, is no guarantee their music will be as nice as her. In Emma Catnip's case though, its true. Nice is understated for her music really, but there is a beautiful dreamlike quality to it (laced with harder beats) that makes you believe peoples inner beauty can escape into their music. Check out 'Beings' if you don't believe me."

Lein Sangster
​

 

Lein Sangster is a singer/songwriter  their songs are beautifully crafted pop laments elegantly and simply constructed , woven with heartfelt passion that are both melancholic and celebratory . Adding to the three studio albums already out there with other music projects , Sangster releases the long awaited debut solo album  In Spite of Everything , The Stars  in  early June  2025  check out singles Why Didnt I Say , Library Fines and current single History Repeatin' from the record 
Sangster previously recorded as Bad Anorak 404, the acclaimed second album in 2006 LP All In Miniature is jam-packed with gorgeous jazz/folk ballads and blues numbers mixing Brill Building classic compositions with odd pop DIY experimentation. At times Bad Anorak 404 came across like Keyboard Money Mark backing Terry Callier or Julie London singing the Broadcast songbook. Uncut described it as ‘an intrepid, boundlessly rewarding delight’

 Dipping in the past of their music career its worth mentioning that Sangster fronted a  group called  Kit an out queer band in the homophobic late 80s, they recorded 4 singles and an album Unshakeable Faith. Liz Naylor writer / NME music journalist at that time said of them ‘Kit make a tough, emotionally indefinable music that carried a lineage from Fred Neil, Laura Nyro and Patti Smith reimagined as the Go-Betweens from Liverpool one of the great underground outfits of the late 1980s ' A compilation was released in November 2024 called Picture Postcards Dreams Unsungs songs .
Sangster also writes for screen and has wrote soundtracks for an impressive number of documentary and  indie film features and continues to do this along side writing songs.  At some point in the future a third Bad Anorak album will be released on the Chemin de Fer label
