Cats and Cats and Cats

Cats and Cats and Cats (UK) // stagger their trademark brand of catchy math rock with folk inspired post rock sections. They formed in 2005. Extensive touring followed with the band sharing stages with luminaries such as Youthmovies, 65 Days of Static, Foals and Blood Red Shoes and performing at 2007’s Glastonbury Festival.


Cats x3 were soon gaining label interest and, after releasing a split single for Wolf Party records, found a home for their next release with well known Oxford based label Big Scary Monsters. The Split EP with Oxford’s This Town Needs Guns (2007) was a storming success and Huw Stephens invited both bands to record a Radio 1 Session.

Oh! Pears (US) // is the brainchild of Philadelphia’s Corey Duncan, a thrilling new voice whose work draws equally from the worlds of indie-pop (Beirut, Grizzly Bear) and classical composition (Ravel, Tchaikovsky) to create enchanting songs with transformative power.

Fill Your Lungs, the latest Release of Oh! Pears, finds Duncan exploring a sound a lifetime in the making, setting stunning orchestral arrangements drawn from his family’s long lineage of classical musicians to urgent, three-minute perfect pop nuggets not far removed from the stylings of his previous outfit, Pattern Is Movement. It’s an engrossing sound that places Duncan at the forefront of a class of high-minded American songwriters like Van Dyke Parks and Jeremy Enigk.

The songs on Oh! Pears’ debut Fill Your Lungs EP deal with startlingly personal themes; “Singers” is about Duncan and his brother forging their own identities amid intense Catholicism. “The Hall” touches on a relative’s gradual loss of sight, and how he learns to adjust his life to the change. “A lot of these songs, really, are identity songs,” Duncan says. “Who my family is, who my friends are.”
