Sweet Mellow Cat is a nicely arrenged showcase of liz christine's work over the last few years. subtle and delicate, sometimes vergin' on the abstract yet still instinctively melodic, her music is in fact a kind of sound-movie, or audio-text, constructed from a personal sound vocabulary and syntaxe developed by and for herself, where each sample has it's own place on the narrative structure. Usually assisted by f s torres (aka kkfs) or the mysteriuos madamme f, Liz is basically using her own obsession (movies, old jazz divas and, of course, cats) to build sound-sculpture-books....
"a hugely cinematic feel containing various ambient textures, akin to Julia Holter...if you like cats, listen to the track" - The 405
"The album has a strange otherworldly feel to it. Listening to this feels like I’m listening to the soundtrack of a deranged child’s mind. There is something beautiful and insanely special about this release though and despite the fact it’s 15 tracks full of strange sounds and arrangements it’s eminently listenable and probably the best thing I’ve heard on the label. Utterly delightful!" - Norman Records (5 STARS!)
