If originality’s your thing, Cat’s Eyes is your band. A duo comprising renowned Canadian opera soprano and classical multi-instrumentalist Rachel Zeffira and The Horrors’ singer Faris Badwan, they make a giddy, ethereal range of sounds. Check out the two songs below from the eponymous debut - ’Over You’ is feminist organ pop coated in classic soul, while ’Face In The Crowd’ combines 60s surf rock with a dose of Lynchian wackiness. And then there’s ‘The Crying Game’, as downbeat a dirge as you’ll ever solemnly come across.
