FatCat Sign Get Back Guinozzi! - FREE DOWNLOAD available

11/06/09

We are excited to announce our latest signing, the infectiously poppy, quirky French band, Get Back Guinozzi!, whose debut single and album are set for release this Autumn. To celebrate this fact we've made available a FREE download of one of their tracks - Police and Thieves, a great cover of the classic Junior Murvin song (complete with kazoo solo) is now available for download as an MP3 here. (right click, save as..), so go ahead and help yourselves.

With a wide range of influences (Talking Heads, The Feelies, The Smiths, early B-52's, King Sunny Adé, Lee Perry, Rip Rig & Panic, Ariel Pink, The Slits, The Cure, Animal Collective, Jonathan Richman, Serge Gainsbourg), Get Back Guinozzi! are infused with the vibrancy of reggae, dub, African music, Tropicalia, and Cambodian music from the '60s. Now comprising a 5-piece band based between London and the South of France, Get Back Guinozzi! is driven by two French friends, Eglantine Gouzy and Fred Landini. Front-person Eglantine is someone FatCat have been talking with for a while, having posted three of her solo tracks on our online FatCat demo archive back in 2004 (which you can listen to here. Remaining in regular contact, in Spring 2008 (whilst living alone in the jungle in India) she mailed us a CDR of the band project they’d been working, which immediately enchanted us.

The band's debut AA-side 7" Low Files Tropical / Police and Thieves, is due out on September 14th, and their debut album, Carpet Madness will drop on October 19th.
