Cats on Fire bring free single goodness
I first heard of Finland’s Cats on Fire a few years back, but didn’t pay them much attention until Indietracks last year. Sadly I only caught part of their set due to heading outside for Camera Obscura. What I did see though was a band playing to ton of enthusiastic fans in a railway shed (video of them bringing the dancing here!) that really won me over, and by the end of the day, I’d picked up their most recent album from the merch table.
I still need to rummage through their back catalogue some more, but assuming they make it back to Indietracks again this year, I’ll be there front and centre for their entire set this time. Still, that’s another six months away yet, and as a precursor for the year, the band have put out a free double a-side single. A-side The Hague is a little sparser than I would have expected from them but certainly interesting. The Borders of This Land is the second song, and is much more traditionally Cats on Fire. Both have value, giving two entirely different directions that the band could easily follow in the future.
You can download the single in full (including a-side The Hague) from Cosy Recordings.
