Don't be put off by the gaudy cover – this EP exudes charm and substance. Catalano conveys understated emotion through her voice as it melts into gentle acoustic songs, carrying their melodies effortlessly. These simple compositions consist of warm percussion elements and smooth male/female harmonies. The strong title track is haunting – backed by a chorus of spectral female vocals. Catalano also injects some wit into the tune: “My dreams are their horror flicks and/Nick's are their pornos”, she croons, suggesting she isn't as prim as she might appear. She plays on 18 Oct at Empress Hotel.
