SPCPP1 Cats:For:Peru - Attack of the Pitching Machines CD album

Cats:For:Peru "Attack of the Pitching Machines" CD LP (cat no. SPCPP1)
The next PPR release is a joint release with fellow Sheffield indie label Thee Sheffield Phonographic Corporation. It's Sheffield's own very wonderful Cats:For:Peru and their debut CD LP "Attack of the Pitching Machines". It comes in a gatefold digifile pack with glorious full colour artwork by Stella from the band.

Produced with love and dedication by Dave Sanderson at 2Fly Studios Sheffield, the album has slowly evolved from Cats For Peru’s formation in 2007. The fruits of their combined labour are worth the wait: "Attack Of The Pitching Machine" is packed with emotionally charged songs and larger-than-life melodies that practically beg you to press the repeat button.

Comparisons to bands such as Arcade Fire and Elbow are inevitable, but welcome. Like those bands, Cats For Peru create songs full of emotional tension and melodic punch.

"Love In A Lift" is stomping and mesmerising in equal measure, with a good old-fashioned catchy sing-along chorus thrown in. A ukulele has never sounded so epic! Likewise "I Love You More Than Evolution" mashes together disparate influences with impressively ambitious melodic punch. The single "Asleep In Monaco" is quite simply a gorgeously simmering pop song.

Throughout the album, and crowning their inventive arrangements, sits the beguiling, elating voice of lead singer Ad Follet - surely one of the best vocalists to emerge from Sheffield in recent years.

Cats For Peru are named after an odd tale from Parkgate, Northern Ireland where rumour spread of a strange and elusive South American catching cats to take back to his native Peru. Cats For Peru are out to catch things too: Your hearts.

Release date: Monday October 5th 2009

We're delighted to announce that our debut album Fun Anxiety is out on Armellodie records today...you can buy it by clicking on the image below.






Alternatively, come down to our album launch party at the Stockroom on Saturday 15 May. We've got four great acts on for £3, and we'll be supported by the brilliant King Capisce, Wooderson and Actual Midgets. The evening will be rounded out in fine style by the Mutiny DJs serving up a delectable platter of wrong-pop goodness.


"A taut sounding slick record that pushes the emotive indie rock button and never lets up. 4/5" Norman Records


"Its quiet quality and variation is most apparent. 8.5/10" Loud Horizon


"If this were the seventies then this band would be massive. Nobody shied away from musical complexity then and it was common for an album to have a theme but the world today is a twisted and much simplified place. 4/5" Bluesbunny
