Album Review: Catlips - Casual

"Each track has its own distinct flavour and demonstrates just how exciting a prospect Catlips is."

Perth’s Catlips is anything but casual here.

Amidst the recent signing to Pilerats and subsequent thrust into the national spotlight, these five tracks justify her success and showcase her versatility in her approach to eclectic, often percussive-sounding house beats. Leading track Fade is a bouncy, dizzying tune with a strong ‘80s vibe and clever layering, while Banker sounds frantic and busy, as though you’re rushing down a bustling inner-city street on the way to work, thanks to the distorted vocal samples. Each track has its own distinct flavour and demonstrates just how exciting a prospect Catlips is.
