For years, Melbourne’s The Cat’s Miaow were this band from a distant past (the 1990s) whose songs indiepop fans shared on mixtapes or played on repeat as they went through breakups. But now, the band is playing shows again and releasing new music too. And not only that, the new songs sound very much like the old ones, which are among the finest bedroom indiepop songs that I know. Don’t Want To Know If You Are Lonely is actually a Hüsker Dü cover and – no disrespect to the Hüskers – even better than the original in a very Cat’s Miaow way.
