Song of the Day - Top Cat

Today's song of the day comes from Scottish indie folk band Kassidy. Kassidy have released two albums; though neither of them have done well commercially, they have a dedicated following and some good reviews for their music. A band of bearded Scottish men may not be everyone's cup of tea, but their's a musical subtlety to them that belies their image.

This is Stray Cat: 

So What's So Good?

Stray Cat is a bouncy, fun song that absolutely flies by. Kassidy are an acoustic band but don't mistake that to mean their songs lack depth - layered singing adds depth to the frisky melody, with every singer each having a slightly different but beautiful voice that tessellate perfectly. 

The vocals are absolutely superb - lead singer Hamish Fingland has an absolutely fantastic, deep voice. What is surprisingly enjoyable is his singing of the higher notes, which are just as pleasing to the ears. There's a lovely homeliness to his voice, which fits perfectly with folk music.

Even if you don't usually like folk music, you should give Kassidy a chance. I'm not a huge fan of folk as a genre but this song will worm it's way into indie rock lovers hearts as well/
