Cats And Cats And Cats – If I’d Had An Atlas
Function

This debut full-length release sees Cats And Cats And Cats move away from the Cursive-inspired math of their impressive split EP with This Town Needs Guns into rich, layered indie-folk territory. Strings, chimes, horns and group chants weave through the constantly-evolving landscape of If I’d Had An Atlas, the group’s adventurous spirit channelled through multi-part epics like the magnificent ‘The Boy With The Beak’ without falling into the trap of proggy indulgence. Add in a wonderfully spacious, organic sound and you’ve got one of the year’s best albums to date. Lee Gorman
