Peter Cat Recording Co. released their new album Wall of Want on January 1, 2012. The album is described on the band’s website as “a lo-fi collection of old tape experiments, self-destructing loops, brief laptop recordings and just echo noise.” Peter Cat Recording Co. released their debut album Sinema (review here) at the same time last year.
We caught up with frontman Suryakant Sahwney, who told us more about the band’s latest release
It’s not an album as such. There are songs which grow on you and others are just good for people to source. I wasn’t too worried about perfection as almost all of this is first take and first show. You could say it’s an impromptu album of sorts. Things were made up on the spot and just never touched after that. I like to release something every New Year’s (day). It’s just nice to do it.
As for the album art, well, I saw a picture of a dog sleeping in a chimney on Facebook and I don’t remember whose picture it was but it struck me that the picture looked like a diagram of the (human) heart. I decided to merge the picture of this dog, with a German anatomical diagram of the heart. It really does look like a heart after a while, well it does to me at least.
