Cat SFX Unveil Title Track From Upcoming “Binman” EP

Chewing through an angsty yet melodic mesh of jittery guitar strums and a melodic and catchy chorus, Cat SFX‘s latest offering, Binman, boasts the breadth of the band as they embrace more ethereal sonic territory that nods to the works of PJ Harvey or Kate Bush. Wheras the recent single Rodeo was outspoken and punk-powered, Binman arrives as a more measured affair, with country-tinged rhythmic guitar lines undercutting crystal-clear vocals that touch on the inner struggles that come with clearing up the wreckage of your own mistakes. Binman can now be streamed via digital platforms with the upcoming EP of the same name set to follow on the 15th July.

“”Binman” is about a toxic relationship: the one between me and alcohol. It’s about the fights that you have with your loved one because you’re so drunk again and have caused carnage, and you’re trying to pick up the pieces the next day. And you make up all these excuses, to yourself, to others. So I’m the Binman. I’m the trash that needs taking out. The ‘Binman’ EP is a journey of sorts of all the demons that I’ve been wrestling with. Love, mental health, addiction… I just wanted them out of me. Writing has been cathartic, we just wanted something raw and honest. Inspiration wise we looked to the music we love: Psychedelic Furs, PJ Harvey, Nirvana, Britpop, new wave and grunge.” (Cat Speranza)

Coming as the band’s sixth release to date, it is organic and infectious in equal measure, and serves as a teaser of the band’s forthcoming Binman EP that is due out on the 15th July via It’s Creation Baby. Grappling with a range of personal and self-effacing issues, the new EP sees the title track joined by three new tracks, including the anthemic punk tinted cut Rip This Love Out Of Me and the enduring and outspoken Driving Blind.
