PRESS ON PETER CAT RECORDING CO. “For years one of India’s best-kept music secrets, Peter Cat Recording Co. is finally digging its paws into America." - VARIETY “casually ambitious yet immaculately executed art rock… the band has touched on everything from big band and jazz-hop to synthesizer-bleeding indie pop in their formulation of a signature blend all their own. Consistent across every permutation of their work is the sonic currency of their cacophonous residence.” - STEREOGUM There’s a lot to marvel at on any Peter Cat Recording Co. album: the crooner vocals, the gorgeous ornate instrumentation, the infectious choruses….Audiences unfamiliar with the New Delhi-based band can find joy within the fuzzy guitars and gorgeous trumpets, the subtle piano riffs hiding underneath orchestral flourishes… It harks back to the big band era, soaring through decades with its upbeat, catchy choruses which adds a layer of sheen. Lead singer’s Suryakant Sawhney’s voice adds woozy textures; it’s all very much a sound of the past rooted in the context of today.” - NME “The band has earned a cult-like following around the world, thanks to frontman Suryakant Sawhney’s velvety croon and quietly charismatic stage presence. The rest of the band — Karan Singh (drums), Dhruv Bhola (bass and samples), Rohit Gupta (keys and trumpet), and Kartik Sundareshan Pillai (keyboards, guitar, electronics and trumpet) — bring a dazzling display of musical chops and depth to make for a sweepingly romantic live show. Find yourself living blissfully in a state of main character syndrome? This one’s for you.” - KCRW The ever-evolving genre-bending India based project Peter Cat Recording Co. has announced a new album, BETA set for release August 9th via Muddy Water. Each release thus far has served as a temporal snapshot, capturing the members' personal evolution since their last offering, a painting of the living and the lived. With their third installment, the group's familial landscape expanded through marriage and childbirth. The band notes of the album: “BETA is a collection of stories about the future told 50 years in the past, to make sense of the present, on our only home, planet Earth.” Produced by Suryakant Sawhney, Kartik Pillai, Dhruv Bhola, and Peter Cat Recording Co., BETA was one of five album titles that could have been. They wrote down all five, put them in a hat, and let the drummer Karan Singh's 6-month-old son reach in and pick. BETA emerged, an endearing word for "Child" in Hindi. Peter Cat Recording Co.’s music mutates from album to album, with BETA forming a whimsical amalgamation of indie, bossa nova, jazz, psychedelic, and more. More will be revealed with the imminent first single coming May 16th. The band has also announced a massive 77-date tour with a mix of Khruangbin support and headline dates. With Khruangbin dates throughout the year, their own headline shows will begin August 23rd in Boise ID, hitting Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and more before returning overseas for many more dates, capped off with a six-date Indian tour concluding December 28th in Bangalore. Tickets for their headline dates go on sale Thursday May 16th at 10:00 a.m. local time. Before then you can subscribe to their mailing list HERE for early access.
