The Cat's Miaow

The Cat's Miaow, an indie pop band hailing from Melbourne, Australia, has carved a distinct niche in the realm of lo-fi and twee pop since their formation in the early 1990s. Known for their delicate melodies and the serene, whispery vocals, the group originally brought together the talents of Kerrie Bolton, Andrew Withycombe, Robert Cooper, and Cameron Smith. Their music, often characterized by its DIY ethos and intimate sound, resonated with fans who sought refuge from the grunge-heavy alternative scene of the era. While they never sought mainstream attention, their influence can be seen in the later waves of indie and twee pop artists who embrace a similar aesthetic.

Throughout their career, The Cat's Miaow sporadically released a series of cassettes, vinyl singles and compilation tracks, which garnered a devoted following both in Australia and internationally among aficionados of underground pop music. "Songs '94-'98" is a fine example of the band's ability to capture the wistful essence of indie pop, offering a collection of cherished recordings that span the heart of their creative period. The delicate touch they brought to their collaborations is wonderfully demonstrated in "Rocketship x The Cat's Miaow," a split that highlighted their seamless fusion with like-minded artists. Meanwhile, "The Long Goodbye: Bliss Out v.14" serves as an evocative showcase for the band's atmospheric side, indicating the depth and breadth of their artistry. Although they've kept a low profile and their releases are infrequent, each new work, like "I Take It That We're Through," is met with enthusiasm by a loyal base of fans who have remained captivated by The Cat's Miaow's enchanting soundscape.
