Title: Win DP to see Gypsy & The Cat Bris Hifi/Ans Q/Email/CLOSES TODAY Post by: oldfellow on Tuesday 04 June 2013, 04:17:33 am http://www.thehifi.com.au/offers/win-tix-gypsy-the-cat/
(http://www.thehifi.com.au/site/media/gypsy_the_cat_large.jpg) Gypsy & The Cat Friday 7 June The Hi-Fi BRISBANE If cities were sonic landscapes then Gypsy & the Cat’s 2010 breakout Gilgamesh would arguably find itself somewhere in the centre of New York City – sleek, shimmering, a floating stock of offshore bonds and bustling streets filled with beautiful people. True to ‘Big Apple’ form the album peaked at number two in Australia, number 10 in the German Itunes chart and sold upwards of 250,000 worldwide. its safe to say the two Melbournians’ new work is more aligned with NYC’s beatnik-yet-always-charming cousin, Brooklyn. The album is no less epic in scale, yet it brims with an eclectic, more psychedelic sound, pushing their retrograded indie smarts into the realm of bohemian art rock. The Late Blue moves effortlessly from dreamscape ballads with washed out melodies, driving tom-fuelled rock with dance-floor highs, to lazy Nordic grooves with cascading Moogs and liquid tones. The band has cited references such as Spacemen 3, Spectrum, Supertramp and The Zombies and it’s clear these diverse strands have woven themselves into the mesh of sounds that make up the album.
