Following the 2012 release of their self titled debut and ‘Scarlett Belle EP’ of last year, Cat Meat return with their most ambitious offering to date; ‘Eldritch City Dwellers.’

This is a record concocted in the dark urban sprawl of the capital; the songs themselves penned in dank corners of South London boozers, in dilapidated train stations and night buses carrying the blitzed and weary.

Musically, the band has clearly developed from its alt country roots. Whilst the songwriting craftsmanship of Gene Clark, Emmylou Harris and Waylon Jennings is evident, so too are artists as diverse as Robbie Basho, Chet Baker, Warren Ellis and The Velvet Underground. 

There’s a lyrical fragility to each of these songs too, the crumbling frailty of Vic Chesnutt creeping into the crevices, the creaking wheeze of Tom Waits steering deeply personal tales of love and friendship.

Having played a number of successful London shows the band has received plaudits from some of their own favourite artists, most notably Califone’s Tim Rutili and PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish.

Expect to see Cat Meat lugging their haul to a town near you very soon.
