Kitty
LP $19.25

MR 048 


***Medical Records presents a very special release and selection of works from Austin, Texas’ undiscovered and never before released electronic/ambient artist KITTY from the early 1990s. This band should have had a proper release in the ‘90s, so for a lot of people, this is a long overdue accomplishment. Formed in 1994 by guitarists DAIN LUSCOMBE and BRANDON LOE, the band eventually became a trio with the inclusion of drummer CLINT THORMAN. Over a handful of four-track cassettes, CDRs, and one unreleased EP, Kitty developed a sound unique even in the burgeoning psychedelic and electronic music scene that occurred along the I-35 corridor from Austin, Texas north to Denton as well as a rabid cult following. From their earliest performances as a three-piece, it was apparent that Kitty’s music put them in a peerage of electronic and experimental acts coming out of the UK like Seefeel and Insides rather than another Texan 13th Floor Elevators style psych band. Not that Kitty was without distortion or psychedelia. Track 1, “Harrison” has both elements and is culled from the band’s unreleased EP. It erupts with a momentous throb of noise that grinds through the build up and at its instrumental chorus, lifts to soar. The track ends with an accelerating rave-up that’s less go-go and more electronic auto accident. Fans of acts such as the aforementioned Seefeel, Insides as well as other pioneering works by Flying Saucer Attack and A.R. Kane will adore this collection. Mastered by Martin Bowes at the Cage Studios, UK. Presented on high-quality 180-gram heavyweight blue vinyl.
