We already know alternative popsensations Kimbra and Ladyhawke from down under. Now meet Catcall with her smart, smooth and 80s style her songs definitely have the flow to get you in a summer mood. Influenced by punk, her sound has an edgy twist, which makes it unique en fresh. Check her track The World Is Ours taken from her debut album The Warmest Place, which came out in May.

Catcall, aka Catherine Kelleher, released her first EP ‘Anniversary’ 4 years ago. A lot has happened since then. She was nominated as a finalist in the Qantas Spirit of Youth Awards and in 2011 she was awarded an APRA Professional Development award in the Popular Contemporary category. Also she already has supported big names like La Roux, Phoenix, CSS and The Gossip.

Catcall about her new album: ’THE WARMEST PLACE’ is what I feel when I listen to music that makes me happy, when I listen to music that is really giving and unpretentious. But it’s subject to interpretation for everybody; it can be heaven, your bed, your bed tangled up in someone’s body, an island, sex, love, a summer’s day, a womb, a cup of tea, freshly baked bread… anything that brings comfort. I want this album to be comfort food and to keep people warm.”
