The long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s ‘Babble’ and 2020’s ‘All Together Now’, it’s a record that finds Beans frontman (and The Murlocs drummer) Matt Blach putting percussion at centre-stage. “I’ve always wanted to make a drum-based album, dedicated around the beat first and then everything else follows”, Blach says, explaining his desire to explore “different production approaches, like hip-hop and crunched drums, and show an admiration and appreciation for the likes of The Meters, Wu-Tang and James Brown” as much as the acid-soaked 60s\/70s rock you’d expect.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat emerges from the beat-first approach on ‘Boots N Cats’ charts mutant garage-rock boogies ('Groove', 'Silhouette') and festival tent psychedelia ('Haunted', 'Dreaming Daisy'), by way of blissed-out funk instrumentals ('One To Four', 'Siamese Blundstone'). The line is constantly skirted between a loose, carefree vibe and interesting, meticulous musicianship – never falling into the trap of taking itself too seriously. It’s a sunny kaleidoscope of chugging guitars, driving bass-lines, soaring organs and warm, echo-soaked vocals – driven always by the tightly-wound rhythms and grooves that Blach has been in pursuit of since he was a kid: “The title of the album comes from me learning drums from my dad. He had a background of German heritage and during lessons would jokingly say ‘nein, boot’n’cats’n’ like a simple 1,2,3,4.” \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- - - - - - - - - - - - - \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-OJA9ZJHk?si=21ZFuQF1kVcH3pDi\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fuzz Club","offers":[{"title":"Ltd Splatter LP","offer_id":50224917381258,"sku":"ajw1789677259565","price":14.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clear Red LP","offer_id":50224917414026,"sku":"cll1789677259566","price":14.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50224917446794,"sku":"piu1789677259567","price":11.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"T-Shirt (S)","offer_id":50224917479562,"sku":"uzd1789677259568","price":18.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"T-Shirt (M)","offer_id":50224917512330,"sku":"xkb1789677259569","price":18.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"T-Shirt (L)","offer_id":50224917545098,"sku":"byb1789677259570","price":21.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"T-Shirt (XL)","offer_id":50224917577866,"sku":"nbk1789677259571","price":18.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Splatter LP","offer_id":50224917610634,"sku":"ewn1789677259572","price":16.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/9553\/3706\/files\/beans---boots-n-cats_1.jpg?v=1789677266","url":"https:\/\/breathmeshfit.shop\/products\/beans-boots-n-cats","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
