The Native Cats Share Small Town Cop Override

It always amazes me, nowadays, how quick little musical jaunts can captivate me; I grew up on bloated rock that stretched over 3 minutes, so when I connect with a short tune like “Small Town Cop Override” from the Native Cats, I still marvel at how everyone did it wrong for so long. A thumping bass line matched up with a rollicking drum march sets the tune in motion, allowing Chloe Alison Escott to dominate the vocal punch. At 45 seconds, the synths begin to buzz, moving the track into more dangerous territory, though a hint of melody lurks beneath. And abruptly it ends, so I jump back and push play and start again. Their new LP, The Way On Is the Way Off is out November 10th via Chapter Music.
