Everybody loves the latest album ‘Our Temperance Movement’ (matcd052) from Cats on Fire so we’ve collected some recent press quotes worthy of your attention below. You can read the full reviews and more on the catalog page and pick up a copy of your very own from the Matinée shop.
“Cats On Fire play jangly guitar pop that’s less in the vein of the Smiths and Orange Juice than it is a rival to those bands. Not since Brideshead has there been a modern janglepop band this exciting. Another win for Matinée Recordings!” —IndiePages
“Our Temperance Movement pairs gorgeous guitar with extraordinary lyrics and bright, frosted hooks.” —PopMatters
“Cats on Fire is unmistakably indie-pop, in the late ’80s UK sense: witty, sensitive songs delivered in a graceful, crisp way.” —The Big Takeover
“One and half listens into Our Temperance Movement and I’m beginning to see what the fuss is all about.” —A Layer of Chips
“Our Temperance Movement is as solid a second album as you’d want to come across – lyrically surprising, intelligent and exquisitely melodic. These Cats are well worth a listen.” —For Folk’s Sake
“Cats On Fire are the sort of pop act any Anglophile on this side of the Atlantic should be watching.” —Aversion.com
“Feels like the moment an entire genre can get over its inferiority & superiority complexes, and start genuinely competing with the best of pop again.” —The Quietus
“Some of the highest caliber pop music I’ve heard in a long time.” —Closet Trekkie
“Our Temperance Movement recalls your favorite pop album, where every single song is so good that it would be hard to decipher which song on the album was meant as the single.” —Austin Town Hall
“Easily the main contender for my album of the year award.” —One Chord To Another
“Sumptuous, jangly songs carving a sardonic smile on summer’s face.” —All Scandinavian
“Our Temperance Movement is full of pure indie pop glee, one song after another will just leave you wanting to hear more.” —The Swill Merchant
“An album worth revisiting on any number of levels.” —Cave 17
