Catcall - The warmest place

On this album, Sydney's Catcall (Catherine Kelleher) puts aside her earlier work with hip hop for a focus on polished pop and the results are outstanding. After the short intro of The Warmest Place, a line referenced in the album's superb opener, August. It takes no more than a looping organ line with big stomping beats for her to pull an amazing track out of almost nothing. Satellites follows immediately – it's an Empire Of The Sun-style indie dancefloor classic waiting to happen and steers away from some of the more '80s pop sounds that populate the record. These moments can be found most obviously on first single, The World Is Ours, the unashamed pop of That Girl and Shoulda Been, or on the slower electro ballad, Swimming Pool. But there are more moments where she displays a more refrained approach to slower-burning hooks like on August, such as on I Believed and the Europop-flavoured I'm In Love With A German Film Star. A long-time coming it may have been, but Catcall's debut is a rich treasure trove of intelligent pop.
