Cat’s Eyes is the newest project of Faris Badwan - best known for his work in the Goth Rock group The Horrors - and Canadian opera singer Rachel Zeffira. Zeffira is also known for her composing and use of different instruments. Cat’s Eyes is an interesting album that does a good job mixing classical arrangements with a ‘60s girl group vibe. In ways their music is similar to Nick Cave, especially when Badwan is controlling the mic with his low and deep voice. The duo is good at complementing each other, and a few of my favorite songs on Cat’s Eyes are when they are taking turns singing. The only parts of the album that are lacking are when Badwan is the only one singing. His voice is good but for the vibe of the album at times it can be a little too dark and that really hurts the overall flow. All together Cat’s Eyes is a cool listen and honestly there is little to nothing like this out there in the music scene. This group should be producing 100 caliber albums because of how incredibly original and mind blowing they are but this Cat’s Eyes is just not there. Cat’s Eyes is going to be a group to keep your ears open for and I look forward to their future projects.
