Based in the Australian town of Woy Woy, singer-songwriter Cat Cork has a knack for crafting engaging melodies and poignant lyrics. Beyond his musical endeavours, Cat’s affinity for feline companionship sees him finding inspiration amidst the company of his furry friends while immersed in the creative process.
His musical story first began with the release of his debut album Feet In The Dirt in 2013, followed by his sophomore effort Ulysses three years later. However, after a hiatus from releasing music, Cat’s creative spirit reignited, leading him to set out on a new musical venture with his brand new third album Silver & Gold.
Recorded during his schedule as a lawyer, the album features a range of musicians from around the world, such as trombonist Karl Lyden, Samuel Da Silva on clarinet and saxophone, Jonas Hocherman on tuba, Jon-Paul Frappier and Bence Taborszky on trumpet, cellist Ben Trigg, drummer Chris Barber and violinist Nikos Mavridis. Marking his return and announcing the album last month with the lead single “Post Man,” Cat Cork collaborated with producer Cameron Taylor to help open the latest chapter of his sonic adventure.
Now, having released the nine-track record, he brings us his latest single lifted from the LP with the track titled “Disappear.” While “Post Man” delivered his classic songwriting in an elegant folk-infused power pop style, “Disappear” showcases another side of his musical vision with a bold, synth pop outing.
Crafting a moody soundscape driven by punching drums and gritty synth bass notes cut with intricate guitar flickers, the subtly dark tone of the arrangement is beautifully contrasted by his smooth vocal performance. Kicked off with the marching snap of the drums and thud of bass lines, airy vocal melodies gently hover above to cast delicate lines and heartfelt lyrics.
It’s a thoroughly original sound that still retains blissful nature of Cat Cork’s artistic identity while offering something new. Building towards a crescendo, crunching electric guitars usher in a bold burst of anthemic rock flair of striking percussion and driving instrumentation to deliver a rousing and memorable finale to another sensational song from an artist who despite taking an extended break from music, remains at the very top of his game.
