R+P Post 17: My Chosen Track

Our chosen track is “Sweet Dream” by Black Cat Zoot, from their 2011 album Mutable Transformer Act.

Black Cat Zoot formed in Munich in 2005. They are an indie pop band who, according to their website, play music with "a ludicrous shake of funk, big beat, and everything that rattles, clatters, and rolls." They assert that "everything is Pop!" and want to break the mold of current pop music with their indie stylings. They are a good fit for our target audience as they are an indie pop band appealing to the new generation, with a female lead to boot.

Their second and as of writing latest album, Mutable Transformer Act, was issued by the record label Hazelwood Vinyl Plastics in 2011. Written by the band, it is an album that seeks to use elements of post-modernism to blend the old with the new and re-define music, and "Sweet Dream" is the album's 8th song. We think it'll be a great fit for our band because of reasons discussed earlier on this blog, such as in Post 8, as well as its unique style and its 'old and new' themes. The only real downside is we have to work with the song's strong sense of style, and can't really stray to much outside of its atmosphere like we could with simpler songs- however, it suits our band's aesthetic and so this hopefully won't be a problem.
