Soon joined by Kerrie Bolton and Cam Smith, the quartet spent the next five years quietly, slowly working away in the suburbs of Melbourne. They’ve long been spoken-of in hushed tones in pop circles for their perfectly unadorned nuggets of gentle indiepop mastery, put to 4-track tape and drip-fed to the world a few decades back via 7” singles, cassettes and compilation appearances. Following a pair of recent and *very* well-received compilations on the excellent World of Echo label, The Cat’s Miaow were inspired to regroup to play some shows and begin working on new material. The result is \"When You Smiled And Turned Away,\" remarkably the band's debut studio album and happily some of their finest recordings yet. All the hallmarks of the band’s classic sound remain intact: a fragile, warm melancholia built around Bart and Andrew's elegant, spare songwriting, the exuberant patter of Cam’s brushed drums and the glow of Kerrie’s celestial soprano vocal. Themes of self discovery, regret, yearning and loss continue to loom large but are buoyed by sprightly tempos and subtle splashes of phased guitars and oscillating synthesizers. And at fourteen songs clocking in at just over half-an-hour, The Cat’s Miaow are still masters of pop concision. It's a gift to have them back!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen You Smiled And Turned Away\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI Hope My Dreams Will Reach You\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf You're Lost, You Can Follow Me Home\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJourney's End\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuminosity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Love You Bring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCBGB's\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave You Done This Before?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI Do The Same Thing Too\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Life Formed Entirely, But Not Yet Whole\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's Never Easy To Say Goodbye\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoing To A Show\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI Couldn't Sleep Last Night\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry And Pretend\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you for looking at our listing, below are a few points to consider before making a purchase:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- All records we sell are Brand New - pre-orders will normally come sealed but if you are purchasing in stock items, please note the copy may have been unsealed for display in the shop.
