THE CAT EMPIRE "the cat empire" cd,2003.
debut set from these aussie guys....
i still fond it difficult to catagorize this album and the band in general. some stuff sounds quite cuban, some greek styles, some salsa,jazz, ska, its all there, not your usual modern music at all...
my favourite track here has a bit of a Kinks feel to it(their quieter 'sunny afternoon' type stuff), i could really imagine Davies doing it well...
anyway, the album peaked at #15 here but eventually went double platinum for the boys, their highest charting single off it was "the chariot" which reached #34 here, yet "hello" made it all the way to #12 in the "land of the long white cloud"(new zealand)...
a strange album, but i like it!
