About Me

The door opened and in stepped the guards. They poured four cups of a shiny liquid that smelt a bit like sugar. No one noticed that outside under a tree sat a girl, with no hair and strange eyes. She sang about a ship that sailed to the other side of the sea where the sand and grass were everywhere. They covered up the buildings and swallowed the people, who didn't mind at all. She imagines she sits outside a sunken church with a boy who sings a song about the little clouds that sometimes cry bits of rain on them. The smallest cloud of all is called Bo and she can travel faster than the big sleepy clouds who sometimes get angry with her and strike lighting. So the girl and boy have to hide in the sand until the sleepy clouds forget about it and go back home.

Love for You'll never make it home:
"They've managed to condense what feels like an 8 minute masterpiece into half that time without losing any of its edge or intensity" funfunfun!

Love for Sweet drunk everyone:
"A band clearly forging their own path, regardless of scenes or trends. Intense, melodic, out-there. Praise worthy indeed. Excellent work" 4/5 Playmusic Magazine March 2007
"An album many bands could only dream of making" In it for the money zine
"Sweet, sweet uplifting music" Organ Magazine's Album of the week review
"a listen that will burst your capillaries, such is the excitement generated by this five piece" 9/10 Powpowpow.com
"sure to be raved as a classic of its kind for years to come" drownedinsound.com
"Itâ€™s the polar opposite of pub-rock. Stop/start half-melodies are scattered liberally throughout the album, each song sounds like a dozen, one idea starts to make sense, before seemingly at random transforming into the next in a split second." 7/10 Neu Magazine
"This is music from another dimension, this is music that defies categorisation." The Devil Has The Best Tuna review
"This is an impressive release that deserves to be heard by as many people as possible. The boys have done good and deserve everything that comes to them." 7/10 Die Shellsuit, Die! webzine
"This is truly fresh, truly exhilerating, brain-stonking, mind-blowing music" Jack Argles (Head of Music)
"If you want angular indie rock with an emo-hardcore slant AND lengthy instrumental passages then I canâ€™t imagine it being done better than this" The silent ballet.com

Love for Victorialand:
"High quality, quirky songs with inspired lyrics and unbounded ideas" 83% Spill magazine
"These lot are definitely ones to watch" 8/10 drownedinsound.com
"Brutally dynamic and beautifully schizophrenic meanderings masquerading as songs" 4.5/5 This is fake DIY.co.uk
"Cats and Cats and Cats, not Cats and Cats, or Cats and Cats and Cats and Cats....I quite like this actually!!" Rhythm Magazine

Love for cats:
"Gorgeous in a ferocious kind of way" Steve Lamacq Radio 1
"Perhaps a bit too much N64" Control Yourself webzine
"recalling everyone from cursive to explosions in the sky, but better" chris pratt is lovely.com
"A Mew that likes flowers and girls in red dresses and stuff" drownedinsound.com
"Best unsigned band of 2005" Rockfood.co.uk
5th in pop art's first ever chart
"Glittering start stop melodies" Half a pigeon zine
"One of the coolest and most beautiful indie bands in the UK " Jairus
"pricks and pricks and pricks" Another story
"You could even say they were bordering on Purr-fection" sigh Nue Magazine.co.uk
"You will have included/understood it, the music of cats and cats and cats, although it can be compared with that of many of other formations, misses neither of qualities nor of potential" soundofviolence.net
