Spazz-rock act made the record they wanted to hear (as said within the first minute of the album). Good for them. But that’s not enough if they want to grab the attention of people who don’t have short attention spans. The album Catbees runs only 18 minutes with 10 tracks that run no longer than 3 minutes. Strikingly similar to The Mae Shi and The Blood Brothers, Casy & Brian are undoubtedly fun with arm flailing inducing songs like Animal Calls N’ Dancehalls and Adaptation X Tha Nation. The two yell back and forth over toy electronic keyboard jams and tribal beats and seem to mimic mental patients high on pixie sticks, Red Bull, and cocaine. If anything, Catbees is different and perfect for anyone looking for quick high of utter insanity. Like I said, it’s fun…but one’s definition of fun is subjective.
