Multiple Cat Discography of CDs

Multiple Cat CD discography The Multiple Cat lives up to its name. Don't let those pictures on the inside of his previous disc fool you, this is essentially the work of multi-instrumentalist Pat Stolley. ELEMENTS OF THE MULTIPLE CAT is goofy, lugubrious, complex and absolutely essential pop music. And while this disc may take some getting used to, it will sneak up on you slowly, until you're waking up at 3:00 am with an insatiable craving for it. Every song is loaded with little melodic ideas that may be carried by a trumpet, a violin, a guitar or just about anything else. It's all topped off with Pat's wacked-out and endearing vocals. His closest musical relative is probably XTC at their most ornate, but honestly, he's got his own branch on the pop family tree. Oddly refreshing and strangely addictive. Quad Cities Pop The Multiple Cat includes: Pat Stolley (vocals, guitar, bass); Jason Williams (vocals, guitar, drums); Jeff Conrad (guitar); Jen Paulsen (viola); Jeff Wichmann (trumpet); Wes Haas (Fender Rhodes); Justin Paris (drums). ...

Multiple Cat albums In the first part of the last decade, labels and bands began to multiply. Rules changed. It became possible for a few guys from Iowa to catch the ear of a NYC label. Patrick Stolley and his shifting crew were in the game, this before The Marlboro Chorus or the Futureappletree collective. From 1993-2000, disparate songs ranging from the urgent "New Marcus Aurelius" to the finality of "Canvassed and Spent" illustrate the eclectic, familiar yet new pop sounds of an amorphous band from an ordinary place...media shy but lyrically strong, the recipe for any secret that you want to know the answer to.

Multiple Cat songs In the 1990s, Zero Hour wasn't afraid to sign bands that didn't exactly go out of their way to be commercial. A good example was the Multiple Cat, an arty alternative pop-rock unit that tended to favor quirky, angular melodies and harmonies. Occasionally, the band provides something with a hook or a groove that jumps right out at you -- "For Bernard" and "Sad, Sad, Sad," two of the band's more accessible tunes, are probably the best examples. But more often than not, the Multiple Cat thrives on the eccentric and the off-center. "Kitty Kan't Figure It Out," "My Planet" and "The New Marcus Aurelius" are the type of songs that have to be accepted on their own terms. Clearly, the Multiple Cat was striving for originality on this CD, a decent though imperfect effort that had enough going for it to make one want to keep an eye on the band. ~ Alex Henderson Recording information: Great Western.
