Courtcase 2000

Clearly the quartet of giddy oddball city dwellers that make this experimental pop music, wear their influences brightly on their flea collars. Spiritually suggesting a less mathematical and more upbeat version of Washingt -on 's Apes or a cuter Deerhoof or by association, maybe the violin marinated pop of Patrick Wolf. Texturally, in places the listener is reminded of the filigree detail found in Godspeed You Black Emperor records, or perhaps the more exuberant moments of Broken Social Scene. Whatever your verdict Cats in Paris are certainly twisting more than a few discerning ears and are surely spearheading the melodic noise scene currently keeping things interesting in Manchester.
