After leaving The Mixers (Wha-am Records) and before joining The Golden Dawn (Sarah Records), Ulric Kennedy began recording as The Catalysts.
As singer-songwriter-guitarist and only constant in the ever-changing band line-up, The Catalysts represents Ulric's musical vision, drawing unapologetically on his formative influences.
Recent EP releases Autumn Everywhere (Cloudberry) and Long Distance (Spirophone), feature the perrennial 12-string power-pop jangle at the heart of the band's sound while exploring a broader pallette ranging from neo-psychedelia through mellow acoustic pastoralism to lo-fi garage thrash.
The
Catalysts' Long Distance EP is available now from SPIROPHONE
