Looking for an intricately crafted folk tune? Well, Baltimore’s Soft Cat has you covered on that end with “Somebody.” Here you’ll hear a gorgeous blend of guitars, strings, piano and mild, yet beautifully tempered vocals. I dig this song because it beautiful and calm, simply the perfect start to your week or day, or a reprieve from your reentry into the work week.  This group is coming back with their third full length album, All Energy Will Rise, come April 7th via Father/Daughter Records, so be sure to get your hands on that.

New Music From Soft Cat

The music world seems to die down just a bit here at the end of summer with lots of bands focusing more on constant touring as opposed to writing and releasing new material.  Of course come October that’ll all change with the hectic times of ACL… So amongst these quasi-dead times for new music, it’s nice to find a new discovery like Baltimore group Soft Cat while surfing the web (YANP).  The group was recently formed in 2009 and are ready to release their debut LP Wildspace on September 14th via Friends Records.  Soft Cat, fronted by Neil Sanzgiri, actually self-released that album last year until a label moved in to help with production costs.  I got turned on to these guys by this track “It Won’t be Long”, so I suggest you give a listen and check out another free track “Blackbird” on the group’s bandcamp site.  Hope you dig.
